I like a systemic low club. I feel like every time I don't lead from a high honor against this auction I lead into AKQ in dummy opposite declarer's stiff or void, and we have the heart entry to push a diamond through later. Would rather lead J than a heart or the club K.

dia J

 

with most of the opps power being with rho anything but a dia carries with it a huge risk of giving

away a badly needed trick to the opps. The dia J can cost but only if rho has AKQ and gets some

immediate pitches we could have won otherwise. Yes rho can hole AQ or KQ and a dia lead will be

non productive at best but there are many more holdings where the dia J wil be safe even if not

usually a huge producer of tricks. A low club with 5 clubs just seems like a play with a tiny chance

of success that carries the greatest risk of disaster. A small heart is probably similar but at least

it has a better chance of being a quick trick taker (maybe even setting an otherwise unbeatable

hand) with the heart A being less so and a fair amount less risk than a small heart).

 

If i had only 4 clubs vs 5 i think a low club would offer a much greater chance of trick taking

for the risk involved (similar to the heart A but better since it requires less from p to be

successful.
