In an uncontested auction in a suit, say 1h-4h. Or 1D-5D and you hold K852. Q973 J764 and the 5 of Trump, which card do you lead?

And if you have a trump void, with an ‘x’ , somewhere (5440 distribution), your lead then? Same bad cards as above with an ‘x’

I'm not 100% sure it would change my action, but:

1) IMPs or MPs?
2) Is the 4H bid preemptive, game values, or wide ranging?

Match point. No. Not a preempt. 1s-4s. As example

The reason I ask is that most non-beginners in most systems play 1S-4S as a preempt, showing 5S and a weak hand.

Against a beginner agreement where 4S is bid on power with intent to make, I lead the other major. Against a preempt, I lead the trump.

What I was really trying to drive at is ‘ is one going to lead away from the king queen or jack in an uncontested auction. So 1s-2s-4s Are you going to lead a heart ? (I agree 1s-4s is weak and no interest in slam but that wasn’t my intent /purpose in asking my question)

Given it is MP, you want to go as passive as possible.
Leading the suit headed by the Jack rates to be the most passive.

And for the record, I am not going to lead a possible single trump.
With kind regards
