Hand 1. We almost always need two ♠ tricks to beat this one. So I continue with another high spade and switch to a low diamond next.

Hand 2. Same here. We can almost never beat this with a singleton heart with declarer (he'll finesse any trump partner's got). To avoid being endplayed I give partner a ruff at trick 2. To ask for a diamond back I return the ♥9. I need partner to have enough in the diamond suit that I can return a diamond if I'm getting a diamond trick before my club king can be won.
Kind regards,
Harald
