MP, 1) Do you double? 2) What to lead?

1 NT was 11-14?
I won't double and lead a club.

I guess that the spades are 5-1 or4-1 between partner and dummy.
It is a lively possibility that I have zero tricks in my hand, so double seems to be a wild shoot.

Opposite a 15-17 NT, I would still not double but think about 4 heart instead.
Kind Regards

Definitely don't double you have 0 points in the black suits and 0 aces...You can't even double 5C with this hand.

I would lead the DK.

Double would never occur to me.

I'll take the bait though. If my opponents are bad I would probably double 5♣. I lead a diamond.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

I would lead a trump, and will be more than happy to get any plus. I wish this is a flat board and a plus should be slightly above avg for us.

I would lead a club every time, more than likely wrong or the question would not have been asked. If declarer happens to be 54 a good chance of getting a plus score if we can restrict the ruffing. Finding it hard to see the diamonds disappearing, which just keeps coming back to a club.
bridge is never always a game of exact, for those times it's all about percentages, partner and the opponents.

Assuming 1NT being limited to at most 14HCP, why should I double?
I would pass.

Now I am leading a systemic heart.

For me 1NT=13-15 in passout so yes I think I was making 3♥ for 140 or 170 and -2 by the opps is only 100 so yes I double can't really cost many MP.
