Help
After the rather ridiculous auction of 2♣ by RHO, 5♣ by LHO and 6♣ by RHO, you are on lead with:
♠ Q5
♥ AT632
♦ KJT
♣ J83
What's your lead? (2♣ was Strong, and otherwise I'm as much help as a brick wall in explaining the auction.)

I would go with the ♦J.
Dislike leading clubs, which is the only possible non-diamond option. Going passive is wrong, declarer will just set up a pitch too often if you do that.

I like the diamond, I think dummy is extremely likely to be void in hearts.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Never heart. The idea is to develop a trick, THEN get heart ace (if it is cashing). I agree with others that diamond J best.

I would just lead a trump and hope to take 2 tricks, I don't have enough confidence in my opps if they bid this way to assume they are in a reasonable contract and don't want to blow a trick.

If you must make an aggressive lead, Diamond looks best, as given all the controls you have, partner is unlikely to have a king. But I wonder what their source of tricks is in 6♣ ? If dummy is short in hearts, as some people suggest, it's likely to come down with a lot of minor suit cards, as he wouldn't have bypassed spades with a black two suiter. For that matter I don't know why he'd jump to 5c with minors either. So I'm not sure whether we need to be aggressive or just make a passive trump lead here.
Seeking input from anyone who doesn't frequently "wtp", "Lol" or post to merely "Agree with ..."
