Scoring: IMP

(P) - 1♦ - (2♣) - 2♥
(3♣) - 3♦ - All pass


Your partner took a bit of a flyer with 2♥ (as you do not play negative free bids).

LHO leads the K and A of clubs and then switches to a low heart. You play the A and RHO plays the Q. What now?

I did the same as Free. I ran the ♠9 losing to the T. LHO then plays A and another diamond. What now?

Lets see, we already lost 2♣, a ♦ and a ♠, and still missing ♠K and Q. The only way imo is to run a few trumps (all but 1), cash ♠ Ace and play small to the 8 in dummy unless you can deblock on the previous trick... Chances of making this contract are VERY small!

I would win all diamonds but one and play ace of spade and a spade.
This does win against all 3-3 splits and Kx or Qx.
Outside chance is, that someone feels the pressure to hold on to the King of hearts and throws a spade from KQxx....
Kind Regards
