GIB led a small heart from this versus both 1NT passed out and 1D-3D; 3NT-pass. Is it too much to ask for GIB to lead a club from this hand? Yea yea he has a passive lead style but this is almost as bad as having a "not returning partner's singleton lead to ruff versus a small slam" style. It's just bad, bad, bad.

It started with with ace of clubs- which partner GIB ignored when he switched to hearts by opening up spades.

I'm talking about the 1NT and 3NT leads. 3 is the best contract against humans because everyone would find the club lead and defence would wrap up 6 tricks. But because of GIB's idiotic leads I got an awful score.

To clarify, I know that I also got loads of great results thanks to GIB's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad leads, but it would just be more fun if there were some tweaks that made GIB lead less like an ostrich and more like a human being. I understand that Bird and Anthias like passive leads but there must be a line somewhere when it becomes just suicidal (just as '4th from longest and strongest' can also become suicidal.)
