Bridge Deal of the Week (Jun 02 2006)

Problem:

The Auction:
North  East  South  West
2♦*     pass    3♠     pass
4♠      all pass

* shortness in diamonds, 3-suited hand 11-15 points

This week's deal is an opening lead problem. Playing Precision, North opened 2♦, which showed 11-15 points, a singleton or void in diamonds and a 3-suited hand. South bid 3♠, inviting partner to bid 4. North accepted the invitation and bid game. What is your opening lead as West?

Hint:
The 2♦ opening has given you a blueprint of North's hand; you also know that the opponents have reached a pushy game, and therefore are not relying on high card strength to land their game.
