You could, for instance, get a heart lead, win the second one in dummy, and finesse the diamond.


It seems abstruse to construct the play after an accepted lead out of turn.

Sure, you could analyze the hand for most contingencies. I like to cover all the bases. LOL

You do not need to find any spade Jack on this hand, unless for overtricks.

Suppose a club lead, because you made the right bid of 2♣. Declarer wins the club Ace and finesses a diamond. No matter what happens, he gets a spade pitch on the established diamond trick.

Unless I'm missing something that's wrong Ken.

Club K to ace, diamond hook losing to Q
Club Q, small club to ten

- what now , you must ruff , so say ruff high, cash diamond ace, cross to heart 9 and lead established diamond, North ruffs....

or draw trumps spade to dummy, south cashed spade Ace and long club

so I do think declarer need to lead a spade to the 9 at some point ( and probably should given your opening and heart void

Pass

Interesting post: I wouldn't have considered anything other pass, but I see there are arguments for other actions, and people who wouldn't consider pass at all.
