The most dangerous: a heart.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

I wanna lead a notrump. Declarer is surely void and so I should take at least the first trick, given that notrumps are trumps. ^^
But since this pack doesn't seem to contain any notrumps, I'll go with a heart. Dummy surely has ♥AK or somesuch and declarer won't be messing around on the first trick.

C obvious.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

This seems like a case where we need to set up our second trick before dummy's hearts are set up. Why anyone would want to lead a heart is truly beyond me... It gains nothing, and will cost a trick plenty of times... Especially if your random BBO opponents bid the same way as my usual ones.
I would lead a low club.

Wow, the votes started as I expected and then the ♣ took over. ♣ was the winner.
Must I enter the hand manually or is there a way to link myhands somehow that sizes it properly?

Others have developed software shortcuts for this, but the brute force way is...
1)Open the hand in myhands
2)Copy the full link from the top part of the frame and paste it into your forum reply box
3)Replace http:.../handviewer.html? with {hv=
4)Add to the end }400|300{/hv}
Except, of course, use real brackets instead of the curly ones, to get this:

♣ is the fast winner. They're not exactly cold on other leads.

Sho nuff. Sorry, my ulterior motive in posting this thread was to confirm my belief that virtually nobody would lead a ♣ with this holding on this auction. I was wrong so I was just shutting her down by posting the actual hand.

wow aint that clever I lead a ♣ from my holding and find partner with the Ace especially when I am not sure what Ace (If any) he could hold
So leading Blindly into a possible AQ ♣ is correct

Well.. holding Jxxx in dummy's suit, I wouldn't have led a club. Would have opted for a diamond instead. Club is more attractive with Jxx of hearts, in which case the risk of running hearts is greater.
