Opening lead is the Jack of clubs. Deep Finesse says it always makes. Can you find a winning line and is it realistic to find this line at the table?

At IMPs I think the winning line is building 2 spade tricks and a simple ♥ finesse. So win the lead, play a spade to the king. Win the return, ♥ to the queen and a spade from the dummy. RHO has to play ♠9, so win queen and play back ♠8.

From the bidding and the lead you know how the spades are divided, so it only takes the ♥K onside. It is not to hard to figure it out at the table.

Yeah, that's it :) Need ♥K onside for sure, and you have to find a way to make 2 ♠ tricks with all ♠s on the right. Small to the K, keeping 2 entries, will do it :) So yes, it's imo a realistic line of play.

Hard to argue with Peter at card playing, whatever he says I will agree :)
