6H on H10 lead
2NT 3C3H 3S (good heart raise, so 4NT can be quant)4C 4NT (RKC)5D (3/0) 5S (we have all the keycards, q-ask)6H PLead was Heart Ten, placing HQ with RHO. So at trick 1, I realized there are three ways to play the hearts for no losers: * Cover Jack, cross to dummy, hook the 8. (leader has T7 or T2 -- two cases) * Cover Jack, cash the two tops (leader has T9 -- one case) * Play low from dummy and cash two tops (Leader has three to the ten -- three cases, although T from T72 is too odd to be realistic)But, the hand should be played without knowledge of the probabilities. You get an extra chance with the third line. If RHO has doubleton queen, claim. If RHO has Queen-third, now you cash three clubs. If these live, now you are cold -- strip spades and throw RHO in to lead a diamond or give up a ruff/sluff.
