[hv=d=e&v=b&s=sjxhajt9dqxxxcxxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP

RHO opens a strong club, LHO bids 1 negative, and partner shows at least 5/4 in either the majors or the minors (you haven't had any discussion about how good a hand it shows).

 

RHO bids a natural 2, you bid 2, 3 on your left, and you proceed to have a disgusting auction where everyone at the table bids once more until they land up in game (5). What's your lead? Edit: Full auction below.[/hv]

The way I see it, with the opponents having a likely double fit in the minors it seems clear we need 3 tricks in the majors. I choose the J. Here's hopin' that as part of partner's random 8-or-so-count she holds the A and can lead a heart through the 1 bidder. I grant it could go the other way and we might need to cash 2 hearts before declarer gets in and pitches losers. I have no idea which is more likely; sometimes you just have to pick a side :P

 

edit:

I've totally neglected the diamond queen. The auction should make it easy to pick up I think.
