Hi,

You hold ♠85♥KQ5♦Q975♣AQT6

Both White, Partner is dealer with your side passing throughout in the auction.

Your RHO opens 2♠, LHO bids 2N on which RHO bids 3♥ with LHO signing off in 4♠.
Your LHO who is your screen-mate alerts 2N as Ogust convention on 2♠ preempt and alerts 3♥
informing you that it shows good points (8-9/10) and bad ♠suit.


Rgds,
RV

I agree with the trump lead. You have all the side suits pretty well covered so a trump lead could cut down a ruff

I'm not lading a trump here, and a heart looks best, I just hope I don't find declarer with the ace and dummy with 5 hearts to the JT (unless my partner can ruff...).

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

Besides playing for fun, most people also like to play bridge to win

IMO ♥ = 10, ♠ = 8, ♣ = 7, ♦ = 6. But some of us recognise the deal.

it was a ruling hand. he put it on the laws section.

the player led a spade after receiving that explanation and got a bad result.

in fact the explanation was wrong and it should have been good suit, bad hand. the player argued that it would then be obvious to lead a heart and get a better result.

the director and appeals committee essentially said, leading a spade was ridiculous/unusual/etc under any explanation so there's no reason to assume the right explanation would make him change his mind.

Anything but a heart is absurd imo
