I can't remember exactly how the bidding went. The opps are in 3nt, your partner overcalled ♣

you hold:

♠Q9
♥KT87432
♦Q65
♣8

Do you lead ♠ or 8♣. The 7♠'s look good but its not solid and you have no entries, so do you lead p's suit?

Never pass up a chance to kick someone when they are down ;)

Those 7 good looking ♠ cards look a lot like hearts to me.
You must know the rules well - so that you may break them wisely!

Minor detail ;)

This is difficult in vaccum. I usually use whatever read I have on the opponents to solve these types of problems at the table.

If I was really not sure then I would lead partner's suit.

I can't really make a lead without an auction. There's always inferences to be drawn, both from calls made and not. Even a ♦ lead might be an option, but here I can't tell.
Kind regards,
Harald

Jilly, everyone would be glad to help but this comment makes it a non-problem and non-answerable.

Better not to post a hand and simply ask: against 3NT, do you always lead your partner's overcalled suit? My answer: no, not always.

Fair enough, I will try to find out how the bidding went :)
