I dunno. It just seems like I'm giving away so much information if I lead a heart.
Assuming the Stayman bidder has 4 hearts as promised, I've given them too much of a roadmap of our hands when he finesses and wins. If I was to lead a heart, I'd probably lie and lead the 9. Partner can figure out that I can't have a doubleton, but declarer doesn't have that luxury. If he thinks my partner is holding up on the king, it may cause him to misplay the hand.

Positionally, I don't like the heart lead. I'm leading around to the short suit with the long suit in dummy.
If hearts had been bid on my right, I like the heart lead.
To me, its between the J♠ (passive) and the 5♦. I chose a ♦, but the ♠'s probably best.

i'd lead the ♦5... give lho 4 hearts and opener 2.. partner has 3 max, and there's no law against opener having the Q ...

I'm leading the 5 of clubs at MPs
(I don't expect much company)
IMPS, I'm leading a low Diamond
Fining partner with Kxxxx of Dimaonds seems the best chance to set the contract

So I have 2 4 card suits to lead and one is dummy´s suit, what is the problem?.
Seems there is a problem since less than 50% people are voting for ♦5. But I don´t see it.
