probably
3) A♠
4) A♦
5) J♣ finessed
6) if 5) held K♦ followed by a ♠

I'm taking the 75% chance of finessing trumps twice playing for split honors.... so I need 2 relatively "safe" entries to the board.
I'm also going to assume LHO started with only 6 cards ♥, not 7, so I will ruff a ♥ on board if they choose to lead a 3rd Rnd.
Also, I'm not taking the ♣ finesse.


3) lead  to♣J .... losing to Q.
4) Win any return
If a ♣, ♦, ♥..... it puts you on board for the 1st trump finesse
If a ♠, you get a free trump finesse

5) first low trump lead from board, finessing 10... losing to J or K

6) Win any return and if ♠J had won the 1st trump finesse, then lead to your remaining entry ( ♣ or ♦ ) for 2nd finesse.
trump finesse.

7) Before finessing, take your ♦K , pitching your losing ♣ ... then finesse.

If it wins, you have only lost 1♠, 1♥, and  1♣

♠K is almost certainly wrong, given the bidding and the lead.

Two lines I considered:

(1) ♣AK. If they survive, lead another club, planning to ruff on table, again planning to play spades from the top. That fails when LHO has four clubs and ♠Kx.

(2) Cross to a diamond and play a spade to 10. If that loses to the king and spades are 3-2, give up a club. If the first spade loses to the jack they'll probably play back a red suit. Now decide whether to win in dummy and take a club finesse, or to play for clubs 3-3.

I like the second line better.
... 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
