Matchpoints, weak opponents, we are Vul and opps are not.

Pard.....RHO.....You.....LHO
2♦.......Pass.......Pass.......Dbl
Pass.......2N.......All Pass

2♦ is weak.

Well you've avoided the 800 here. Whats your lead against 2N and explain your reasoning please.

♥, I want to lead a Major (and quite passive), and I hope ♥s give me the best chances. ♣ is probably quite poor since RHO will have some.

I think I will lead C, which is stronger than my spade. Furthermore, I want to use my SA as an entry.

Very peculiar bidding. 2NT is usually Lebensohl. Also if 2D is weak the opponents have pretty much missed a game.

I am a simple person - 4th highest from my longest and strongest. Very close second choice is a C. Third choice a D and worst by a long way is a H.

A H lead cannot gain here as it is far to passive. The opps have about 24-26 hcp between them and figure to make this unless I strike it lucky. (What do you mean I can't lead a D!).Bet you $10.00 Hrothgar leads a C - canape leads strike again.

♠ to me, there was a rule that said you should lead the suit not heade by the acec, so you can use the ace later as an entry for the stablished tricks on the other, but that was a rule for equal lenght.
