And onto the next one. By this point in the match you know that your opponents bidding is beyond optimistic, but so far it's worked. You're 6 boards in to a 10-board IMPs match:

Your first board against new opponents. Your lead to 6♦ (yes, Australian preempts are loose):

1. ♣Q with no strong conviction.
2. ♦4 with strong conviction.

1. ♠K. Also happy with ♣Q.
2. ♦4 seems clear.
For the record, I definitely wouldn't be defending 5S undoubled!

In the second hand, are you still leading a diamond if LHO bids 5♦?:

I just wanted to hear peoples' reasoning before I showed the hands. Here they are:
Hand 1 (check out North's takeout double of 3♠!!):

I have a lot of sympathy for my partner, who led a spade (a non-club).
Hand 2:

Partner led the diamond singleton on hand two, which seems like the best shot.
Thankfully the opps' aggro bidding eventually backfired, and we took a rewound contract many off on the last board of the match for a small win

I'd prob have led a heart on the first hand, though been tempted by a small club.
Diamond obv on the second.
