hearts T8 doubleton or Ax onside: 7/64
Wrong analysis, because we also know that Ax hearts does not exist off side. And after we played the second heart up we also know that 108 can't be off side either.

Tricky, but you have to play for it Tough slam

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice

oh well, i'd be down on this one... assuming ron, phil, roland, ben etc on my right, i'm playing him for the A,8♥ and lho now being out.. so after winning the 2nd heart i'd lead a diamond and beat whatever rho played (hopefully a smallish one).. then i'd finesse the ♦Q

I think I'm convinced now that playing for 3-3 hearts is now right. However, the play in the diamond suit is to avoid West getting on lead. I think diamond to the Q on the first round is necessary. You make against any doubleton with West not including the K. Playing for the 4-1 onside (without singleton K or J) seems wrong.
