Scoring: IMP


1♠ - 2NT
3♣ (any min)- 3♦ (=?)
3♥ (♣ single) - 3♠ (limited slamtry)
4♦ (cue) - 4♥ (cue)
4NT - 5♣
6♠

Lead ♣Q. Trumps are 2-2.

Draw trumps, ♥ to A, ♥ back to hand, finessing the J if I need to.

The percentage play to get 3 tricks from the heart suit is small to the 9 and if it loses, finesse the K or play to drop the J.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

Oh. Brianshark is right. My line picks up stiff honors but I forgot about KJx onside :P .
