Scoring: IMP


1♠-2♣
3♣-3♠
4♠

vanilla std, 2♣ was not GF and 3♣ did not show extras (but is GF? whatever). 3♠ set the GF according to RHO and 4♠ showed (again?) minimum values. So an interesting system and interesting auction, but what to lead?
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

DJ. The ten offers more safety than a heart.

I'm leading T clubs, trying to get partner a ruff. I'm hoping that if P isn't ruffing the first round, they read me for club shortness and think it's safe to finesse the Q of spades into my hand.

Low heart.
Trying to cash our red suit tricks, and we have fewer hearts than diamonds.

Don't like a club lead here. If they don't have 9 clubs, declarer will likely win and quickly play trumps from the top.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

I lead the ♦J and the whole layout was along the lines of



Declarer actually went down. He said something like "oh no, look at that lead. what a stupid lead, totally gave me the contract and I totally blew it :)"

RHO told our teammate, the best player in our team and our teammate said "hehe, yea, that lead totally sucks"

I lead a club. Anything else is too risky since you cant expect your pd to have much.

I'd lead a heart, which has less chances to blow a trick because the suit is shorter.
