See undate below.
Your right hand opponent opens the bidding two clubs in 3rd seat. You pass, and left hand opponent makes a waiting response of two diamonds. Right hand opponent rebids 2NT (22-23), and left hand opponent signs off at 3NT.
Now it’s you lead to 3NT holding
Your thoughts?
Start counting. Declarer has 22 to 23 and you hold 8. That leaves 9-10 between your partner and dummy. Dummy raised to game, so should have at least 3-8 points (did not make 4NT slam invitation with 9-10). Opponents showed no interest in the majors.
What do you lead and why?
Update:
I would lead the six of spades, hoping that partner has the jack or that declarer cannot tell who has the king or queen of spades. Anything else loses timing advantages on defense. Don’t even think about leading the three of clubs on that bidding.
