---1♦
DoublePassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♦2 - Your partner has passed the double. He has long and solid Diamonds. How should you play?

You have the majority of the points, and the Diamonds. You need to play as if you were declarer. And what would declarer do? Draw trumps. Therefore, lead a trump, to prevent East from making his low Diamonds with ruffs.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 3

  Your Hand
♠ K J 9 2
♥ 8 7 6
♦ A 9 6 2
♣ 6 2 		 
Q: 3 - What do you lead as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
---1 NT
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♥8 - If you had this hand against 1NT-3NT, you would lead a Spade to try and set up your suit.

However, against 1NT, you will have time to set up your tricks. Don't risk giving away a trick on the lead. Make the passive 'top of nothing' lead in Hearts.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ J 6
♥ A 6 3 2
♦ 9 8 7
♣ K 7 6 2 		 
Q: 4 - What do you lead as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
-1♦Pass1 NT
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♦9 - Ace-fourth makes for a really bad lead, and I bet you didn't even think of a Spade lead when your partner couldn't overcall 1♠. But what about the Clubs?

East does not have a Diamond fit, nor a four-card major. His long suit rates to be Clubs. Therefore, lead a Diamond, dummy's suit. West might have only three of them, and at any rate, you won't be giving away a trick.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 5

  Your Hand
♠ A 6 2
♥ Q 10 6 2
♦ J 6
♣ A J 9 6 		 
Q: 5 - What do you lead as South?
SouthWestNorthEast
--Pass1♣
Pass1♥Pass1♠
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♠2 - You have a lot of Clubs behind declarer's holding. He might want to ruff his Club losers in dummy. What can you do to prevent this?

Lead a small trump and, when you get back on lead, continue with the ♠A and a Spade.
