♥J.

For me the choice is between the heart and the ♦A.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Low club. If declarer has Jx opposite HHxx(x) he will put the jack up anyway, so it's reasonably safe as well as offering the prospect of setting up some winners.

I don't understand ♥J, which just looks like an attempt to let it through. I can't see anything about the auction or our hand that suggests the need for such aggression. In any case, it seems unlikely that partner will have both good enough hearts to set them up and enough entries to cash them.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Like the low club idea. Will try DA though.

♣T. Though in a junior tournamnent, it might be right to go for the ♦A, as that might be the choice of the majority. My goal in a situation where I don't have an obviously correct lead is to chose the one that rates to have the greatest amount of field protection, and that rates to be the top of a sequence in my longest suit in most cases. Maybe that's wrong for this type of tournament, though.

My housemate was watching me play the tournament (as in, over my shoulder) and insisted I lead the JH. This found pard with KQTxx ;) Think any lead is good enough, as it happens, but this one looked most impressive!

You're cheating!



But who hasn't played with someone over their shoulders anyway, so no offense intended.
