This was an interesting last round hand from the Brighton Bowl, a strong national team event. I was not expecting to be declarer when I picked up the South hand. West led the two of diamonds. How would you play?

I think you should lead the QH at trick 2. They will win and you ruff the diamond return and cash the AH. Then lead a spade. You will succeed if the trumps or spades play for one loser or if East does not fly with ♠ Qx. On the actual layout you will succeed.

I haven't got as far at the play yet. I'm still wittering at dummy about the bidding.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

My partner did not think I would judge ♥Kxxx and out if she just raised to 3♥.

What about xxx xxx xxxx xxx?

Call me a wimp, but I would bid 1♠ over 1♥.

Please say hi to your partner from BBF, and that BBF considers you a bidder with sound judgement who will find an obvious 4♥ bid.

I would play ♣Q in trick 2, pretending doubleton in hand and hope opp does not duck it, so I can return to hand and finesse with ♥Q

They can beat you now by ducking the queen of clubs, and by ducking the queen of hearts if you lead that next!
