Ajx
Kjxx
9xx
Ktx

Favourable vul. Lho opens 3c, rho bids 3nt. Your lead.

Assume Photo is LHO, I'd lead a small heart

Swiss Teams Lead 1. Assuming the auction on the left, I rank
1. ♥. Attacking. Requires only 1 honour from partner. Your ♣K seems badly placed, so you might need to take the 1st 5 tricks.
2. ♦ Safe. And partner might have overcalled or doubled with majors.
3. ♠A. Might surrender a trick and a tempo. But might give you a 2nd chance to get the lead right.
4. ♠x. Unlikely to work.
5. ♣. :)

Small ♥ looks standard, but if declarer/dummy has ♥A and Q it's not going anywhere surely? Has dummy a singleton ♥Q and leading ♥K was preferable? Not something I would have considered at the table.

I'm tempted by A♠ to have a look.

I don't see us beating this without some luck and a great deal of aggression. I'm leading a spade honour. Probably the A in practice, but playing the J might put declarer's Kxx under more pressure if P can overtake from such as QT9xx.

I have no strong reason to assume ANYTHNG will work. That means I go back to basics and try leading low from longest and strongest (low heart depending on your lead system).

This is the only one I think was an error - I led a plebeian heart. I think ace of spades must be right. With kxx clubs under the adverse preempt they're making if we can't cash 5 immediately. If partner has the ace of hearts he'll still have it at T2.
