Scoring: MP

South declares 2S


A low heart is lead, plan the play.

Second part hidden:

Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

♥A, ♠A, ♥ to the K, ♥Q from dummy pitching a ♣.

If hearts are 3-3, should lose only 1♦,2♣, and 1or2♠s

If the ops ruff in i still have chances tho i may need to guess the position when the defences final heart is played

Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

I would take the A♥

Lead the A♠
Then J♠. I'm hoping for K♠ to be east and that he ducks.
If successful, play the Q♠. Thinking the most likely split is 33 with 6-1 being shown.

Now I can play the hearts when I get back in control.

Losing 1♠, 1♦, and 3♣.

I see no other play having a better chance of success, so I must play it this way.

There isn't a right answer to this sort of problem, it depends on opponents.

I admit I am also a trump drawer: ace of hearts, ace of spades, jack of spades and hope for the best.
