questionable whether 11hcp should invite opposite a 12-14 hcp at MPs.
Opening lead. The low club contrasts with the HA on the previous hand. Reason being that in the previous hand opening leader had a couple of potential side winners, whereas here it is remote, therefore more important to remain in communication with pard who should have ~7hcp. Will do DDA.
In fact the small club lead is by far the worst lead, and considerably worse than even HQ., AC is best by a long shot which doesn't appear to be DDA bias for aces. Average tricks go from 8.2 (CA) to 8.5 (others) to 8.8 (Cx).
