J looks super clear. Given how good our hand is, partner can't have too many HCP so he must have positional hearts.

I said J equals "Ten". So either the J or T are fine :P

Seems like my choice of a heart is consensual with other. Well, this time it was not optimal.


All leads set it, but spade sets it 2 extra (diam as well, but that's a bit too hard to find). I wasn't too happy with pard because he could have bid 3 to help me out, though I can understand him passing if he thinks 3 was strong, not that piece of junk.

With another pard I play that this double calls for a lead of our suit. That would have helped here.

partner had a clear chance to bid 3s and they failed to do so. That
means it is hugely unlikely a spade can ever be right. If p thinks
we can set 3n they have to be covering hearts and clubs (quite
possible looking at our hand) so the attacking lead of the heart
J seems like the best bet overall for a set.

Is it so clear a heart lead will set it? If west had AJ9xxx JT Qxxx x or w/e a spade shift is required to set it.
