Summary
K 5 3 Q 4 8 6 5 3 J 432 N S J 10 4 A K 2 A Q 9 2 A K Q YOU are South, declarer in 3NT against which West leads the J. Plan the play.
WEST'S best line of play is to win the heart in the closed hand and immediately cash three top clubs followed by a spade, with the idea of winning three hearts, four clubs, one diamond and one spade. There is a very good chance of snatching a spade trick at this early stage, but even if the K loses and another heart comes back, South still has one heart guard left and can establish one trick from his remaining J- 10 before he is in danger. If he relies on a helpful distribution of the diamonds, he may well find the suit breaking badly.See the full content of this document
