Pass


 Your choice:
A: ♥6 - Don't lead away from your Spade honors, especially when declarer has a strong hand.

Lead a Heart. It won't give away a trick and it might prevent declarer from taking short-hand ruffs. Your long Diamonds may eventually come in useful.

---1♦
DoublePassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♦4 - Your partner has passed 1♦, so he must have long trumps. Lead a trump as if you were declarer; you don't want East to take lots of ruffs.

Your result so far:
Open Question

Question 4

  Your Hand
♠ A 6 5 2
♥ J 8
♦ A 9 6

1♣DoublePass2♥
PassPassPass


 Your choice:
A: ♣2 - Lead a small club. It would be too dangerous to lead from any other suit.

Underleading aces is awful, but leading from a doubleton honor in the trump suit is also a very bad idea. It could blow your trump trick(s).

Your result so far:
Open Question

♥ A 5
♦ K J 10 5 2
♣ K J 10 5 2

 Your choice:
A: ♣J - The opponents know you have Diamonds, and they will have a stopper in that suit. In short, they expect a Diamond lead. Suprise them with a Club.
