Scoring: IMP


(P)------2D-------(2S)--------P
(3C)-----P--------(4C)-------P
(5C)

You lead The A of D (attitude) followed by the K. Partner played the 4 & the Q only the D J is missing.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."

PD does not have the jack, else he had played the queen on the first trick.
So I try a Diamond now.

A third diamond is necessary if declarer has both major-suit aces and ♣A10xxxx or worse. A heart is necessary if he has something like A xx Jxx AJ1098xx or Ax xx Jxx AQxxxx. It's hard to estimate the likelihood of these, because they depend on how good the opponents' bidding is. I think it's a guess, but I'd try to cash partner's ♥A.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I would very much doubt that declarer had all 3 aces on this bidding... :P

I'm leading a diamond. If partner had QJx he could have played x-J or J-Q, so I believe x-Q could only be from Qx. Besides, why would TC put the ♣7 on the table?

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

Yes, reading the entire auction does make it less of a guess.

blush...
He passed first hand, well that makes the defence with the 3 diamond tricks quite unlikely.

Needs something like Void, Axxx,Jxx,ATxxxx to work. Given the bidding, this is possible, but the odds of partner having an ace are higher.
