What do you lead? Any reason not to try a top spade?

It might have been Scheinwold who said the good lord dealt me an Ace King so I wouldn't have a lead problem.

I once had a partner lead something else against a grand when he thought they had an obvious void (not) and get squeezed out of it.

First to the yellow: Good decision, IMO. Clear Double of 1H, marginal Double of 2H at best ---just wrong over 4H.

Spade bullet lead won't tax my brain while having a bad day or even a good day.

This is the textbook reason why the lead of the king asks for count.

Alas the textbooks weren't having a good day either.

A top spade was the only lead to let it through.

I'll post the full hand when I get home.
