I'm disappointed about the heavy vote for a small club (instead of the K, if we shift to clubs).

Are people really so convinced that partner is likely to goof his pedestrian defensive problem (overtake the ♣K to put a ♦ through) that they are willing to unnecessarily hand declarer the contract, every time declarer has the ♣A without the Jack?

Hmm, not exactly top flight bridge, I think.

Blindly trusting partner might forge a good partnership, sadly it might also destroy it as well

Well, I considered the king of clubs. When I get better partners, I'll lead the king of clubs.

I am not actually complaining about my partners. Just being realistic about my ability and theirs.

I suppose I could reverse the logic and say if I lead the king of clubs I'll get better partners. If I survive.

I'll take it to heart. You are right,and we should all have the courage of our convictions. Partner should get it right.
