You hold:

♠ATxxx
♥Qxx
♦ATxx
♣x

Bidding goes:

1♦ 1♠ 2♠* Pa
3♣ Pa 5♣ Pa
Pa Pa

As I was on lead I asked opener (who had alerted 2♠ happily as something pretty interesting) and was told that 2♠ meant Hearts and a good hand. This was the final (screens were in use) of a teams' event called mockingly 'morons and masters', where players well positioned in the National ranking have to play with lesser ranked people in teams. What would you lead?

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

♠A, RHO might have stretched to bid NT if he held the King, so it looks safer that other leads.

I don't believe the explanation of the 2♠ bid. Given that this is not a regular partnership, I think it's a limit+ diamond raise.

I'm leading A♦ followed by 10♦.
