You are in 4♠ contract.
Because you played on ♦ in stead of on ♥ (that was probably bad play); you reach the following end position:

You already lost a ♦ and a ♠ trick. You just played a ♦ to the K in North to discover that ♦'s break 4-1. The lead is in North (dummy) and you can loose one more trick. The ♥ position is not really known, so I gave both opps the ♥K.
After all it just felt great to play the right card. :D (seeing my smile after the play, the opps commented - friendly - that it is good that we all still have something of a child in us :) )
I couldn't resist to post this. :P
What card do you play?

1st choice: Q

2nd choice: 10

distant 3rd: J.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

disagree with hannie. HJ is first choice, and HQ is second.

I disagree, the 10 is the best, following the rule of playing second position lowest, but honnor over a honnor, and since 10 is not a honnor it will not be covered with Kx. :)

This is where you both go wrong: when I play the queen, opponent with Kx will think "aha, Han wants me to cover the honer with an honor.. so surely I shouldn't!"

Feel free to ask me to explain this in more detail when you see me online. My lessons are free if you have a star.

Then why is the Q better than the J?
