3 passes to RHO, who opens 1NT (12-14) at matchpoints. Don't remember the vul, think all.

Your hand is QJ8 KJxx Kxxx 9x. What do you think?

IMO ♥x = 10, ♠ honour = 8, ♦x = 3, ♣9 = 1.

SQ but it's ugly. Ideally I'd like to lead passive, but as you can see I have no passive leads at all. Second choice is a diamond.

I chose ♠Q but it seems like a complete guess to me.

Small ♥ is clear for me. I have only 3 ♠, it's unlikely to be right.

Hearts can wait. Perhaps they can only be started from partner's side. We need a deep spade trick as well, and it is much safer to begin there.
