In a team of 4 game, you reach the inferior contract of 3NT. How do you survive after the lead of the 4 of clubs, 2, J, Q?

I'll keep things simple. Spade, overtake spade; if they break 3-2, then we knock out the last spade and claim. If not, take the double diamond finesse.

I go with 68% chance. I play ♠K overtake ♠Q with ace and another ♠. that should give me ♠5♥1♦1♣2 for contract. if ♠ are 4-1 i might be able to stop this line if west shows out. then what? mmm....
smerriman got there first. I will type quicker next time

Yes, I should have known this one was too simple for this crew.

Hey, it's nice to get one right for once
Always easier when you know 'cash 3 top spades and hope they break' can't be the answer anymore..
