♣ 8 7 3 2 		 
Q: 1 - What do you lead as South?

 Your choice:
A: ♦6 - This is a perfect hand for a singleton lead. Even if your partner can't get on lead at trick one, you'll get in with ♥A and will be able to try and find an entry to your partner's hand to get ruffs.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 2

  Your Hand
♠ A 6 5 2
♥ 8 3
♦ K 8 4

 Your choice:
A: ♥3 - Every side-suit lead would be too dangerous, especially after a bidding sequence where dummy has shown a weak hand with 5 Hearts. Lead a safe trump, and let declarer play the other suits on his own.

Your result so far:
Open Question

 Your choice:
A: ♥K - Two touching cards are enough to form a sequence to lead against a suit-contract. You have two sequences. Lead the one with the highest honor.

Your result so far:
Open Question

 Your choice:

 Your choice:
A: ♦2 - This is a sequence after which you need to make an active lead, because dummy will be strong, and you want to set up tricks before declarer can discard his losers.
