Pass


 Your choice:
A: ♦3 - You need to lead one of your five-card suits, but you know the opponents will have a Spade stopper. Therefore, lead a Diamond. You might surprise declarer.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ A 6 3
♥ J
♦ K Q 6 2
♣ A J 8 5 2 		 
Q: 2 - What do you lead as South?

Pass


 Your choice:
A: ♦K - You could consider leading your singleton, but your opponents have game-going values and you have 15 points. How would your partner get on lead to give you a ruff? It's impossible.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ A Q 8 5
♥ K J 9 6
♦ 8 3
♣ A 5 4 		 
Q: 3 - What do you lead as South?

Pass


 Your choice:
A: ♥6 - You need to set up your own hand, but a Spade could give away a trick. Lead a Heart and hope your partner can help you (or maybe that the ♥A or ♥Q will be in a short holding so you can set them up).

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ 8
♥ K J 10 9 8 6 2
♦ 8 2
♣ A Q 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you lead as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♣
3♥DoublePass3 NT
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♥K - What's the point of leading the ♥J? Will your partner have the doubleton Ace? You know declarer has a Heart stopper.

It probably doesn't matter which card you lead, but if someone has a singleton ♥Q (especially dummy), you will be glad to have led the King.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ 8
♥ A Q 6 2
♦ A Q J 8 5 2
♣ J 3 		 
Q: 5 - What do you lead as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1♥
2♦2♥Pass4♥
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♦A - With all those points and trumps, you're on your own. But the situation isn't desperate. Declarer probably has five Hearts. If you can make him ruff twice, you will have more trumps than he does. It's called a forcing defense.

To do that, lead the ♦A and continue Diamonds as many times as you can.

Your result so far:
