Scoring: IMP

               p
1♥   p 1♠ p
2NT p 4♠ p
p     p

1♥ = 4-card majors (major rather than minor with 4-4)
2NT = 18-19

Can see J♣ can be right, but K♦ right more often I think.

Club 4 - dummy's got the points and declarer may duck in dummy. Tough hand, anything could be right really. If one gets it wrong, lets get it wrong in style ;)

I think we get so conditioned into thinking Kx or Qx or (worse) two honours doubleton is a horrible lead, that we forget to make it on the rare occasion when it looks right. (Obviously gnasher is not going to count my vote as I was present when we lost 13 imps on the board.)

A low club would be more tempting if we didn't hold the jack.

A diamond lead beats it, because partner has the ace and no other useful card. I feebly led a spade.

On the evidence so far, it seems to be mainly me that suffers from this problem.

The fact that I led the DK should probably mean that it's a poor choice :unsure:
