Scoring: MP


Nevermind the bidding, but say you reach 6♠.

In the early play you learn that West started with Kxx of spades and East with J singleton.

What's your best line to make 12 tricks?

ruff diamonds before heart finesse, something like:

♦A, ♦ruff, ♠A, ♦ruff, ♣A, ♦ruff, ♣K, ♥finesse, ♥AK, ♠T

I am wondering if it would be better to try to drop the ♥ Q and then play for split club honors ([edit] that is, by ruffing a heart in addition to cashing the A and K. This gives 2 club pitches.)

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy - but it might improve my bridge.
