Scoring: MP


Bidding (uncontested):

Pass-1♠-3♠ (limit) -4♠ (normal accept right, even opposite passed hand?)

Lead is the Q♦ (standard, always from QJ or Qx), RHO plays 3♦. LHO continues with the J♦ to the 5♦ and you ruff.

I know partner might not have had a limit raise. How to best play from here?

With east having showed up with the AK♦ I would not play him to have either the ♠A or the ♥A. Consequently it may be right to play the K♠ when I lead a small one towards dummy rather than plan for West to hold AQx. Presummably the auction actually started P (P) 1♠

Agree with pooltuna. (While RHO might have an outside A, that would leave everything else with LHO, and with QJ in both minors why not switch to clubs at trick 2 when partner discouraged?)

So spades I'll go low to the king.

Hearts I'll try low to the T, then the Q. Low to the K is probably only going to pick up Jx in hearts, while low to the ten picks up J(x)(x) on your left, which seems much more probable to me.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

So is everyone leading trumps at trick 3?
