Scoring: IMP

Unopposed auction to 5♠, JH lead, I forget what actual signal was but say RHO shows even number.

Any suggestions what to do next ?

National final, against a regular contributor to these forums. (The small cards I've made up, but guts of the hand is right).

my intuitive play wich probably sucks is ♥AL pitching a club, then ♣A+♣

You try to guess the clubs but fail, RHO wins and returns a: a diamond, b: a heart

duck the diamond, ruff the heart and play ♠A+ ♠ to the 10

I have a strong suspicion you go off in both cases. This is the actual layout:

I played a club to the 10 at trick 2 and it held. I now decided all I needed was a 3-2 trump break or singleton Q, so played spade to the K, KH and 10S. I got forced and went off.

I think what I should have done on seeing the 9S is to run the 10D and whether it wins or loses, the S 108 ensure I will get to dummy to take the club pitch on the KH and if the 10D loses my hand is basically high excluding the QS.
