Scoring: MP


You get to 2S when RHO opens 1C, you overcall 1S, LHO bids 2C, and partner bids 2S.

LHO leads CK, CQ, RHO encouraging at trick 1 and overtaking with the ace and returns a trump.

How do you play? Trumps are 3-2 with LHO having Tx.

RHO did not open 1N. So play him for 12-14 including AJ of clubs and LHO for 8-10 including KQ of clubs.

Think RHO is 2434 or 2344 tho he might have opened 1D if 2344.

3 top spades ending in dummy then finesse RHO for HJ.

I'm confused as to why it is impossible for RHO to be 3433. Its unlikely, but certainly possible given the bidding.

At the table I would likely play the AK of spades and lead a heart towards the K. Not sure if leaving the Q of spades as a non roughing entry is "necessary" but it seems like a good idea anyways in case I get hearts wrong and lose 2 of them. Even if LHO has Jx of hearts and Txx of spade (although that isn't the case) I think I still make as they cannot get back to RHO's hand to rough a heart continuation.

Be interesting to see what the technically correct way is. This is just how I would approach the hand.
