Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) our teammates were falling over at the other table so this board did not matter too much.

I failed in 4♠? Would you have made it?

My line would have worked if trumps had been 3-2 or the heart finesse working. Can I do better?

I assume the play started ♣K to ♣A, ♣ to ♣T and ♦shift.

I think it can be made if we plan to ruff one diamond in hand and discard the two remaining red losers on the clubs.

Cross to the ♠K without cashing the ace and run the ♣J. Plan to discard a heart first and a diamond later, but ruff when south uses his ♣Q.
No matter what north does, we can use ♥A and ♦ruff as entries later on to play more clubs. In due time, we'll cash the ♠A and hold the losers to 2 spades and 1 club.

Yes damn it the first trick is missing.

I will fix it.
