You are defending 4♣X after LHO opened a strong 1NT, and p has shown long spades (presumably 6). Your defensive agreements are UDCA and primary signal is attitude.

you are on lead and put the ♠Q on the table from Qx. dummy shows up with Kxxx. p contributes the ♠2 as you win the first trick.


What would you assume the ♠2 is without discussion when playing with an expert? what would you prefer it to mean?

The primary signal has become obsolete (in a sense) in this hand when attitude in spades is already known - partner bid them and I held the first trick with Q. Matter of partnership agreement whether the 2 is then suit preference or count. But if looking at dummy, diamond lead doesn't appear crazy then I would continue diamonds, taking the 2 as suit preference.
