If you play 9-10 coded and J denies and strong Kings. A ten is top of nothing or AJT or KJT. So since a T is already strong by nature why not used it with QJT9 or AQJT. That way a Q lead is not super strong unless its QJ98 , QJ9xx or AQJx.
Ex
1Nt----3Nt.
Partner lead the Q of S
dummy come down with 9xx in S. So the lead can only come from QJT, QJx, KQx, AQJ(xx) .
So you can discourage (and declarer should win with the A) . When you ll take hand youll have to guess if partner got AQJx or not. If you dont thing he has it then you wont continue in that suit because you know patner cannot have QJTx or longer nor AQJT.

From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

Yup, yup a problem. But might Smith echo help distinguish big from little esp by opening leader? Second, is this problem resolution aimed at too small a target? Ie much effort refining opening leads for a rare problem?
