Scoring: MP

1♥ 2♣ P 2♠* - ta, showing a "normal" cue bid, likely a good club raise
P 3♣ P P
3♥ 3♠ P 3nt


T1 ♥A 5 6 3
T2 ♥K ♦3 ♥4 ♥8
T3 ♥Q ♠2 ♣3 ♥J
T4 ♥2 ♠4 ♠5 ♥T
T5 ♠6 3 Q 8
T6 ♣Q 5 ???

Did East pitch from Kxx or xx?

Of course you play for the drop, scoring game on 19 hcp is going to MP well and the tenth trick won't gain you much if anything.

Plus the carding makes the stiff K fairly likely.
