Except they don't have any hearts. Yes this is a classic hand.

Ok. Classic hand aside. Is there a reason we believe hearts are 6-2? Did lefty open a weak 2♥ or something? Or do we think that those odds are better than the simple spade hook?

Yes, West preempted in hearts (it is mentioned in the post with the hand).

Why yes. Yes it is. And furthermore, West has turned up with the ♥AK (and presumed Q since it didn't fall from East). Thus, the ♠Q is marked offside. I follow now. It often helps to read the entire problem. lol
