Help
It's been a while since we have had suit combinations. Try these, two of my favourites:
65
AK10973
5 tricks
....
AJ8
1042
2 tricks
Plenty of entries to both hands. Are they too easy? Hidden text will be fine in order to give as many as possible the chance to have a go.

Hand one... my "guess" (this one is pretty standard)
Hand two... this one is not a great chance for two tricks...I would try for an endplay later, but if I have to play this suit myself, and I had no clues that RHO might have two or one in this suit, I guess, my guess would be...

first one:
cash an honor and lead low to the ten next (unless they play an honor). As a side note if you cash the ace and lefty plays an honor, you should play the king next (as a finesse will not help you since you cant pickup Hxxx play for QJ dub).
second one:
lead the ten. Assuming a cover, lead low to the 8 next (restricted choice). What is the technical advantage of leading the ten first one may wonder, as opposed to low to the 8 immediately? If rho has H9 dub or stiff 9, you can pick that up.

... and Ben of course. He rarely gets an analysis wrong. My apologies.
