Good advice
Your analysis will probably show you that partner is likely to have 6 cards in the minors. On top of 4 cards in ♥ and perhaps 2 in ♠, West will have about 7 cards in the minors. East is garding ♠ at least twice, perhaps more, and will be able to finesse North as much as he will need to. With those considerations, it feels better to lead ♣ as you have the K there. Of course AQ would be better, but 5 cards is a real temptation. Second choice is the ♠4, which could work better. Besides, I think you are not exposing yourself to the Bennet’s fate when you do not lead partner’s suit here: partner has NOT shown a quality suit, just a 5-card suit and East might be the hungry big bad wolf right behind him. If partner hasd overcalled 1♠ instead, then the preferred lead would be ♠. Or so say I
Very useful tip. I wouldn’t do that normally
