Scoring: IMP

P-1♦-2♥-X,
P-3♣-P-3♥,
X-5♣
All Pass


Playing standard signals with a pick-up partner. You lead the ♥A, (7-3-9) and then the ♥K (J-6-T). What do you play at trick 3?

Nice.

but insufficient. Declarer wins in hand and runs his trumps, reaching:


Which five cards should East keep?
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

Besides playing for fun, most people also like to play bridge to win

Partner keeps 2 diamonds and 3 spades. Obv we shifted to a low diamond and partner smoothly stiffed his spades so declarer will misguess the shape and go for QJ tight of diamonds :)

Wishful thinking, but at least this way he's on a guess rather than just cold, but yeah I did not see the criss cross variation.
