Your partner North deals and the bidding goes:
Pass - (1♠) - 5♣ - (5♥)
6♣ - (Dbl) - All pass

Scoring: IMP

6♣

Lead ♥Q


East wins with ♥A, and returns ♥K which you ruff in hand. What is your best chance of making this?

Advanced or better, please hide your answers if they appear immediately bellow, thank you.


Edit: Sorry once again for the mistaken sides.

Yes, I really thought the line you mention was the best one. Which one is?

Cherdano you should just pitch the heart from dummy on the last trump if it's not high not a diamond (as manudude said).

Anyways yeah the squeeze/count chances > 2-1 in the minors. Basically you are losing to 6241 with your line which is a very likely shape.

Also just for completion I will point out the obvious that RHO always has the AK of spades given that he opened...

But RHO showed ♥AK. Why wouldn't he open with ♠A1098xx or ♠KJ109xx or even with 5 spades without the other top ♠ honor?

hmm? It said west wins the HA and returns the K

edit: Also says lead HQ, guess I could have figured out you meant to say east rather than west.

How stupid I am. :(

Sorry, named East West. I am going to correct it now. Perhaps for someone it won't be too late.
