lol im getting confused here, for a mement i thought i made a mistake , i deleted the post and wrote a double dummy one, but now i think again that i was right at the begining and this hand has one good line that should be taken seeing only those two hands, i hope im not wrong. (almost 8 am and i didnt say gn yet)

When they get the hand they play K of heart, If im not mistaken there is a better line.

Bidding and VUL would be nice as opps have Ten hearts between them ---- did ONE of them bid a weak 2♥ (or MAYBE 3 ♥??)

I will post the full hand, maybe it will be easier as a double dummy.
6♠ from south, west lead the A of heart.

Nice hand!

I will do the following:

Spoiler

Ruff the opening Heart with the 2. Play AK of clubs discarding a heart and ruff a club with the Ace of Spades (else West will overruf and return a heart). Play a spade to Q in the dummy and play the good clubs, discarding a heart first. West has no good return after he ruffs. Heart, ruff in hand, trump to K drawing last trump and enjoy clubs. Diamond, win Ace, same play as with H return.

West makes just one trump trick.

I guess this is a line that could be come up with single dummy too..
Clubs seem to be the best bet and we have to preserve entries to the dummy by not ruffing more than once. (ducking first trick won't help as we have to ruff the second heart anyway). Assuming a 3-2 club split and no more than 3-1 trump split we should be fine.

Finnaly well done.
Am i right and this is also the right line without the double dummy ?
