Jason played an interesting 6♥ on this layout:

Scoring: IMP


LHO initially passed but doubled your 1♥ call and leads the ♠K.

Whats your plan?

Cross in diamonds and run the HQ. Assuming I haven't either lost or pinned the jack, AC, ruff a club and start running diamonds.

Yes that's the ticket.

It's a curious hand. You can't make it with 2-2 hearts, but as long as RHO has 3 or diamonds and 3 or 4 hearts you are ok.

Unless LHO holds stiff heart King. :D

I was the original declarer at the table. I played for a stiff king (cold with 4-2 diamonds if it is on my right, some extra chances if it is on my left), when the alternate line of running the ♥Q would have worked.

For you and your partner, do you think 4♦ shows this type of hand?

Double.

You can make with hearts 2-2 by playing diamonds immediately. You need diamonds 3-3 and RHO to have Kx of trump.

Not suggesting this is necessarily the right line of play...
