Scoring: IMP


we pass and it goes:

1♥-1♠
1NT(12-15 balanced or so)-2♦(gf artificial)
6♠

opponents are not the best pair in the world
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Auction sounds fishy, but it seems risky to play defensive here. ♦A.

Opener showed 5♥ I have 4, Opener showed 9+ cards in the majors so he holds 4- in the minors.
At least I can try to make if harder for opps to make on a crossruff. So I lead trump.

Not this specific auction but it is not that uncommon that they jump to slam when they clearly may be undervalued, and may have a side source of tricks (hearts), and may be off an AK or two aces given their auction (no investigation).

Leading my ace expecting a side source of tricks after this non investigative and likely gambling auction.

I seldom lead unsupported aces against slams, but here my heart holding and the bidding screams for an ace lead. I'm listening! :(
Kind regards,

Everytime I do this in a "fishy" auction, the opponents' turn up with 11 cashing tricks, no play for a 12th, and declarer holds Kx and dummy xx.

At least it makes for a quick claim. :(
