What is wrong with leading your partners suit? Don't we teach that?

I had 3 tricks off the top with declarer in 5S doubled and he leads an unbid suit from three to the seven. It is down if he leads my suit.

It happens frequently. I just had to vent.

Part of the nuances of the bots is to not make bids that dont show a better hand than you really have
So gib is expecting you to have what bidding box says
When in doubt the LEO principle of fast arrival works best
Especially on opening bid....maybe double of 2♥ might help bot better
Welcome to the world of gib

At least GIB didnt double 5♥

Double of 5♠ comes to show you/I want my suit lead or because you/I think contract is certainly down and getting bigger score?

As bidded hearts are looking as at least 10 in NS hands, 7+ and 3, heart tricks are 1 or 0 to be taken.

Both minors in North are four small. Bidding doesn't reveal hints except opener promised strong hands with not just AKQJ in hearts.

Next time ♠K would be ♣K and with two singletons in diamonds and hearts in EW would be regular lead for -1.

Probably lucky distribution in EW, but chance for second thought could be given before shooting partner.

yes I have fallen into this trap with GIB numerous times
SJ Simon ...."why you lose at bridge" ....trying to turn 50 into 100, or 100 into 200 then going -X30
trying to gain 2 imps vs losing 10, not good imp odds
