After some nice auction...

1♠ - 1NT
2♣*- 3♣**
5♣

(2♣=nat or various 16+ hands, 3♣=5-7 with 5+ clubs)

.. it's your job to safely land this contract:

♠ xx
♥ Jxx
♦ xxx
♣ KQ8xx

♠ AQxxx
♥ AQxx
♦ -
♣ A9xx

Defenders are experts and west, after some thought, leads J♣.

What's your plan? :)

I'd win in dummy and play ♠A and another ♠. I plan to finesse hearts and establish another spade trick.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Besides playing for fun, most people also like to play bridge to win

I think I'd win and then play a small spade, retaining the Ace.

Safely land this? There's beaucoup handling and communication problems with a trump lead.

I don't see a lot of problem with winning in dummy and hooking the spade. Its no lock that West has the spades based on the lead. I also don't commit myself to the heart finesse in case spades are 3-3. Playing spades early makes entries more fluid whether or not the spade hook wins or loses.

If I could conveniently play ♠A, enter the board, and play up to the Queen, this would be an option, but I'm not wasting a trump entry for this.
