732 in DUMMY

AJT9854 in your HAND

You need to play this suit for 6 tricks, or 1 loser. What's the best way to proceed? (unlimited entries)
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Ruff 4 times in hand and 3 times in dummy and lead a side card from dummy to ruff with your AJ10 as last 3 cards. Guarantees 9 tricks in the suit.

If you meant 6 tricks instead of 9 then you finesse, you will make 6 tricks unless LHO has KQx and then you couldn't make 6 anyway.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Yes, 6 tricks.

And your solution isn't correct :)

Not correct uh?

Well, you can also just play low to the 7, same thing, as long as you don't cash the ace because then you won't make 6 tricks when RHO has KQx either.

Well you might as well start by leading the jack from hand, if LHO has KQx he has a very tough guess since his partner might have singleton ace and people don't expect you to play this suit that way.
Please let me know about any questions or interest or bug reports about GIB.

Nice one jdonn!
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

same principle, wouldn't the T cause LHO to ponder if their P didn't have the stiff J?
