You should lead a club. Not just because it is the unbid suit but because in the bidding S shows 5 !d and leading a club "might" setup a threat/tap of his trumps. DD might lead to some other lead yet they will be wrong more often than right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
