The simple line is to ditch a diamond, heart to Ace, diamond to Ace, ruff a diamond, and then play the K of hearts. If the diamonds and heart split 3-2, you claim. You might make 5 if the heart Queen drops.

I discard a spade, play ♥AK and ♦AK ruff a diamond. This I think is the simple line.

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

This is all nice, but you know that hand would not be here if everything is honky dory.
Lets say you follow this line, but when you cash K of ♦, RHO discards a spade.
What next?

So, on my line, apparently everyone follows to the first heart, I then win the diamond Ace in dummy, and RHO shows out when I play a small diamond toward dummy to ruff? Or, does he pop in a heart pip to force my second top heart?

I just ruff a diamond back into my hand and ♠K for a ruffing finesse.

This thread should not be in the sayc, 2/1 forum. Perhaps interesting hands is a better place.
