You are East, and therefore have to make the opening lead. What card do you choose? What point count do you estimate partner has?
|
|
Against three no trumps you lead from the top of three touching honours, not two, so do not lead the  K. The next standard lead is the fourth highest of your longest and strongest suit, in this case  4.
Opponents have shown 25-30 HCP, and you are holding 9. Your partner has maximum 6 points, so is likely to produce one or two honours at best!
