That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Trumpities! What could possibly go wrong?
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Yes. A very distant second choice might be to lead the ♥A against the 2-suiter to have a look, maybe have a better idea which minor declarer has, but that could be wrong in so many ways (perhaps declarer has ♥Kx after all, perhaps he ruffs the heart and embarks on a crossruff, etc). Really I don't think it makes much if any difference whether declarer has shown a second suit or not, a trump just looks like the standout lead to me.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

So did i , for 300 while other table found the ♥ Ace lead and continued ♥ for 500. Partner could shift to ♥ though and save the day. Perhaps it could be a better topic if i just gave east hand and ask the defense after ♠ lead.

As E, after ♠ lead , since you know decl has 5♠ pd is unlikely to lead ♠ from Hx therefore has xx. The A♥,K♦ and A♣ become a necessity for pd's x..I suppose he still needs som for his x , Q♥ being more prob than J♦. Still not an easy defense for E.
Your lead is normal the other one is inspired. Nobody will shoot you for a normal lead however if A♥ fails , it gets the premium horrible lead title.

I think a trump is kind of lazy. Trump leads should be made for a reason, not because you don't like other leads. What does it accomplish besides lose a tempo. I understand the heart lead and like it slightly more than a minor suit lead, since it needs very little for it to be right.
We could also be in a cashout - imagine dummy with nothing more than the other diamond honors and 3 trump.

How does E know i have xx ♠, declarer opened weak 2♠ i may have stiff, no ? Also East is aware of the danger that declarer may have stiff ♣, not necesarilly but likely. He has to make a move b4 ♣ king is established whether stiff or not ♣. Trump back doesn't seem to make any good for defense after seeing the dummy.
@Phil; You have a point and i really wanted to make another lead, the problem was as numeric stated, it would be a guess in the dark. ♣ Ace lead could be as good as ♥ Ace lead in another deal, or both could give up a natural trick + tempo. I have 3 suits controlled and partner telling me he has stuff too...
