Scoring: IMP

1♥- 2♣
3♣ - 4♥


After a boring auction, opponents lead the ♦4 (fourth best.)

How do you play this?

Three plans springs to (my) mind.

1) A heart to the ace, and a club finesse.
2) Two rounds of hearts and three rounds of clubs.
3) Duck a diamond, planning to ruff a diamond, and finesse both soft suits (first round finesse in heart, second round finesse in clubs).

2) Looks to shaky for me, and 3) seems the natural way to play, but does 1) have any merit? Or have I missed another, better plan?

(At the table anything would have worked, so no second-guessing is needed.)

Do not underestimate the power of the dark side. Or the ninth trumph.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.

My feeling tells me to take the ♦A and finesse the heart at once. I'll take it from there.
