Lead is a low C. You win the second C and lho unblocks the K.
If you now test the S, (do you?), rho discards a small H. If you now pull a D off the board, rho plays the J. The Q wins and now....?

You can play rho for a 2-3-3-5 shape and endplay him with 2 rounds of H and then a C, or you can play for KJ of D tight, a 2-4-2-5 shape, (and yes, he appears capable of finding the falsecard from KJx.) What is your line and why?

Cash ♦A, because he deserves to put me one off if he found the false card. Appart from that, I guess endplay is more likelly in theory but...
