I can't believe Cayne found a trump lead at the other table (against a different auction).
Apparently its cold on any lead, but its a lot more interesting with a trump out.

I must admit I think 6h is ummm "optimistic" but there are indeed many ways
an invitational hand can produce slam and the fog of war might make defending harder.
Having said that, a second club just cannot be right and it would seem declarer has
a second suit. If it is diamonds we can do nothing but if it is spades maybe cutting
down on spade ruffs can be significant. Trick 2 lead a trump.

Lead was good and I actually tough for moment about the winning play that required early club. But I decided better to try for spade king or lucky diamond position with singleton trump.
Not an easy hand to play. If I just plast a small slam I might actually get a different lead. So maybe that would have been a better bid from me.

I guess you were trying to drop ♠ or ♦Kxx? The club up early only works because I have a stiff trump which seems weird to say the least here.

Declarer's line at the other table seemed weird. After winning the 2nd trick with ♣K, it seems natural to play ♠A, ♠ ruff, ♦A, ♠ ruff. Leading ♣Q seemed to be dicing with death,
