Scoring: IMP

(Pass)-pass-(1♣)-1♥
(pass)-1NT-(Pass)-4♥
All Pass
 
North plays 4♥:
East start ♠J and West plays the ♠A.
West returns ♠5 for North's K. East the ♠T.
!!Now you know how the Spades are divided!!


You decide to lead another ♠, East ♦7, Dummy ♠7 and ♠9 for West.

Now West plays ♥7:

Scoring: IMP

How do you continue?

I sound like a broken record I am sure but please make declarer South. It makesnproblems much easier to read.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

That 7 of diamonds was sure good news wasn't it?

Since I have no real way of telling who has either red king, I'd better use my knowledge in spades for an entry to dummy. Ace of hearts, spade, (over)ruffing unless LHO produces the king, which won't help him at all. AK of clubs, throwing diamonds.

Actually, I think I'd better ruff with the queen anyways, to unblock.
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

After the trump return from West, and the knowledge that West has the 4th Spade, you always have an entry to dummy. Either by letting trump run to Dummy or by taking the A and ruffing a Spade in dummy (Or with trump Q if East ruffs S with the A). But if you loose a trump trick (West ♥K) then you need to ruff a S for your 10th trick.

Well done.

I found it good play for beginner-intermediate to let the ♥Q singleton in dummy and use it later as an entry by ruffing Spade. Or let East ruff a bad Spade with ♥K and have the ♥Q as entry.
You better didn't include this last comment.

Sorry, wasn't thinking. First heart goes under the ace, so of course I'm ruffing with the queen.
