Express free automated fun tourney. I just don't get it. After the spades, there were basically 2 options I'd figure almost anyone would use.
Option 1: There's enough top tricks to make with 1 overtrick so just draw those in fear of letting the defense run the spades. OR
Option 2: Finesse the Q of hearts by leading low to the J in an attempt to get more overtricks. Still just draw the top tricks in the other suits.
And what did it do? Lead the J of hearts. Having neither the Q nor the 10, I fail to see how this was a very good idea. And then it lost the J to the Q and ended up failing the contract. Needless to say, it didn't get a very good score for the hand. Either this was a bad play or there's something I'm missing where it's somehow good but I really can't figure out how.

LOL. Even its Heart play would not have cost the contract if it had ducked the second Spade
