♥5 means very little if I Cannot see my own spots.

I assume RHO is being funny with KQJxxx because a low lead from honnor doubleton seems unlikelly.

I don't really see a hand where this is makeable, except LHO holding both black aces, or a stiff spade queen behind with some endplay. This is very weird, but we must try something.

So ♥A and a spade up to the king

[Tomi2]

you go down 6 or so, endplay would work on kqjxx with two aces with south. at the table one player chose this line (spade finesse) and went -5. your line st spade king fails if ace is placed well but he raises and plays club now.

the thing about this hand was, that the team lost by 3 imps and the declarer could have won the match by cashing his 7 winners for -2...
do you think playing for kqjxx aa thatis indicated by bidding but not by the first trick is enough chance to risc some extra undertricks if it loses?

after seeing the results other teammembers of course argue that declarer should have cashed out for -2...
