Do you think it could be found legitimately?

In books. But they don’t lead small, they lead the 10 (signal the highest ranking suit).

In a friendly game or against friends, I’d happily risk it.

In a match / official competition, I hope I’d dare.

But in a reasonably qualitative field, I wouldnt be surprised that the lead is found at several tables.

Fair enough. I can see the opportunity and the logic, it just wouldn't occur to me to risk it at MP.

I voted Pass as i felt we cant force to the five level. If opener has extras and bids on i felt we have a safe sound good slam.

It turned out to be wrong.

I agree that this hand is quite iffy at the 5-level - partner could hold Qx, Kxxxxx, AQ, Jxxx. Pass, though, seems too unilateral.
