If I lead a heart spot, partner might reasonably expect me to have Hxx (did I have a way to make a constructive raise to the 3-level?) though that probably won't prevent me from leading a heart. Maybe the king so that partner can let me win the trick when a diamond through is right and can overtake when a club through from his side is right.

♥K, maybe I'll be able to keep the lead in case some special play is required or called for by having a look at dummy.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Besides playing for fun, most people also like to play bridge to win

I'm leading a heart as well. Usually it won't matter much but I can see declarer winning my (diamond) lead, pulling two rounds of trumps and pitching his stiff heart on the third round of diamonds. (AJ10xx in dummy, declarer with Kx?). I don't think it matters much which heart I lead. The king reduces the chance of partner giving a ruff and a sluff at trick 2.
Nice 2D bid Phil, stick it up to them!

On the auction (1♣) DBL (1♠) P (3NT) all pass, Marshall once led the queen of spades from Qxx, catching AK doubleton in declarer's hand and JTxxx with an outside ace in dummy.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I believe that the USA currently hold only the World Championship For People Who Still Bid Like Your Auntie Gladys - dburn
dunno how to play 4 card majors - JLOGIC
True but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision? - Hideous Hog

Then what do you like?
4♥ is crazy.
We don't have a 4 card limit raise available.
