Playing on the abalucy turney today, i was on the lead against 6sp with

---

The bidding was
RHO - LHO
1S-2NT*(showing fit)
3H*(nat) 4C(cue)
4NT-5S(2 key card+Q)
6S
The bidding seemed abit odd to me but i had to lead anyway. What do you lead ?
What do you think of a spade lead ?
If The A of spade is in declarer hand, this might cost, but could just dont matter if declarer refinnese or play small and partner has the J.
If dummy has the A, maybe he will play it.
The clue i was betting on was the 4nt bid, if he had only one of the other suits controled he would probebly cue bid, so most likely he got both red aces which leave the spade ace to dummy.
Well stupid or smart it worked just fine and 6sp went down 1.(more then 20 imps between 6sp makes and going down 1)

That is a reasonable line of thought. It reminds me of the old classic when you are on lead against a slam with AQx of trumps. Lead the A; if the K is in dummy, declarer is likely to rise on the next S. If the K is in declarer's hand, nothing is lost.

Also a famous lead against 7 after stayman sequence when you hold Qxx in trumps.

Another one I Was told, Buratti played a tourney with my father, after 3♦-ps-3NT-ps-ps-ps he led ♦ from ♦Qxx wich also worked pretty well.
