IMPs, short matches

Axx KJT9x Txx xx

w/r you pass as dealer but get in your lead director later. Too bad, you are on lead anyway. The entire auction:

Pass - (1♠) - pass - (2♣);
2♥ - (3♣) - 4♥ - (6♣)
All Pass.

Thanks.

given the contract and dummy's bid of the ♠ suit what chance would you say that the opening leader will lead the suit from Qxx? Doesn't that increase declarers chance of actually guessing right when dummy flops with ♠KJxxx

diamond requires a fair bit - something like kj in partner's hand over the Q and with a good suit partner might have tried 4D on the way to 4H.

heart requires a favourable distribution which seems unlikely on the bidding.

i'll go for the ace of spades - declarer probably has a big spade fit to bid like this - probably not 4 sadly otherwise they would be trumps a lot of the time, but dummy can be 6-4 in which case partner can have a singleton.

Somehow I doubt declarer has even 3 spades. But maybe hearts are 5-4-2-2 around the table. Trying the heart King, checking for stiff queen somewhere. Most likely this turns out to be just a passive lead.

Either this was a very tough or a very boring problem.

A♠ was right. Declarer held K, void, AKxxxx, QJTxxx. Dummy was: JTxxx, AQx, Q, Kxxx.

Seems kind of mundane to cash our two tricks against a slam doesn't it?

I voted a diamond.

Nice bidding by the opponents.../irony

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