 Leading after a weak opening by Matthias Huberschwiller

 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - East has a weak hand, and you don't know much about West's hand. He could have a lot of quick tricks.

Therefore, you need to make an active lead, to try and take tricks as quickly as possible.

 Your choice:
A: ♣K - You often hear "when a partscore is doubled, lead a trump". Yes, but that's usually only the case when declarer's trumps are weak, or when he has a fit with his partner.

Here, a trump lead would only serve to capture your partner's honors. Lead from your Club sequence.

3NT - Gambling, a solid minor

 Your choice:
A: ♠A - Same hand, but a different bidding sequence, and a different choice of lead.

Here, you know East has a long minor and nothing else. You need to see dummy to know where to look for your tricks. Lead the ♠A, and you will get to decide at trick 2.
