any auction --be my guest----you as my partner will be on lead.

example---- 1n/t-p-2cl-p
2ht -p-2n/t-p
3n/t-p--p---x --- your lead?

lets give you 5 sp-4hts-2d-2 cl and say 4/5 points
or 4sp/4hts/2d/3cl-----------your INITIAL LEAD?

this situation comes up many times---unopposed auction and out of the BLUE PARD X's-----------------I thought there was a "GOLDEN RULE"
to boot, any sequence apart, from the ones given.

comments and contributions avidly accepted

I play it as asking for a spade lead (responder's suit).

Having said that, when you hold 4 or 5, partner is unlikely to have them, but it seems strange that he has a long running suit and didn't want to bid them. Maybe KQJTx and an outside entry, but I prefer to hope partner works it out.

Also worth noting that if the doubler is turkish on BBO, it might have been doubled on a limb .

ok -i gave you 5sp----and then i gave you 4 sp------Think,where is the "Golden Rule" with either these holdings???

Like I said, I play X as asking for a spade lead, just lead according to your system. If you would lead4th from Hxxxx, then lead 4th here.
