4 South, Q led (IMPs)

K7

How would you play this? What suggested your line of play?
A strong player disliked my line and so now I'm curious about the hand.


A KA ruffed; duck a heart if still on lead

This wins with clubs 4-2 or 3-3 & hearts 3-2 (3 hearts must be with 2 clubs)

LHO might over-ruff the 3rd :(. Then defenders cash AK leaving RHO on lead, to lead a 4th , promoting another trump trick.
Hanoi5's line (A, K, KAQ, discarding a ) avoids this fate because -- as Rainer points out -- you can then discard a loser, when RHO leads a 4th .

If turn out to be 3-3, you can cash A to make an overtrick when are 3-2 -- and that is probably the best MP play. At IMPs, however, you should guarantee the contract, even against a 4-1 break, by continuing with a 4th round of , discarding your last , preserving A as an entry to dummy's 5th .
