What is the best way to play AK4 - 108653 for 4 tricks assuming unlimited entries?

If you are really keen, why?

Run the 8 to cope with singleton 7 behind the AK ?

You can't cope with any 5-0 or QJxx behind the AK.

Singleton Q or J in front of the AK, you're fine.

Singleton Q or J behind the AK, nothing can cope with, nor can you cope with singleton 2 behind.

Singleton 9 behind the AK, you could cope with by leading the 10 from hand, but that loses to singleton J or Q in front.

Singleton 7 behind the AK can be coped with by running the 10 or 8.

Since singleton J or Q is twice as likely as singleton 9, my vote is to run the 8.

The better known one of these is K1087xx opposite Ax for 5 tricks where the correct play is to lead the 10 and run it unless the Q, J or 9 appear.
