You hold

KJT75
K6

Against reasonable club opponents playing weak and 4 NV, P deals and passes, N opens, and the bidding (unobstructed to the end) goes

1D 1S
2C 2H
3C 5C

Do you X?

Either way, what do you lead?

No double. ♥ A. No tells.
Be the partner you want to play with.
Trust demands integrity, balance and collaboration.

yes, no double and ace of hearts.

They denied a good heart stopper, so I have no problem with leading an unsupported ace.
Kind Regards

th eopponents go unobstructed to the 5 level, I don't even need to look at my cards to know I won't double, maybe I don't double nearly enough.

♥A lead as Steve and Roland said.

No X, HA.
But X and C6 to stop D-rufs/S-ruffs.
Esp teams, this likely gets X-1..3.

Without looking at my cards, this is a trump lead auction.
Kx is a bit of a nasty holding to lead from, but it's still a trump lead auction and my diamond holding suggests that even more.

Hm, I'm in good company at least. AH beats it, C lets it through. Hands not quite what I expected from the bidding.

It's not clear how declarer should play it on a club lead to the jack and queen. Obviously cashing clubs from the top followed by spades works, but that is not crystal clear.
