It is a gamble which card to lead.
One lead is not good: . If declarer has to develop a suit he can choose out of 3.
I don’t like to underlead a K. Also I don’t like to underlead a J.
On this board I followed a wisdom in bridge: the clubs are always equal divided.
Trick1: to K
Trick2: 2 via 8 to K
Trick3: to A
I think on another lead declarer tries the -finesse.
Because the friendly distribution 6-, 5-tricks and A are 12 tricks.
Nice to see that we made the first 3 tricks.
Hartly greetings from Louis, the Dutch player.
