OK, so it's not a wonderful overcall, but you would like a club lead against anything North declares and you decide to bid 2club. North bid 2heart and partner raises obstructively to 3club. South rebids his spades and North's 5club is exclusion Blackwood, asking for aces other than in clubs. South bids 5NT, showing two, and North signs off in 6spade.

What do you lead - you stand to gain or lose 13 IMPs!
