Yeah, that was the hand. Fair enough. The singleton lead into such a perfect fit just burned me.

You Hold ♠x ♥xxx ♦xxx ♣AKJxxx What is your lead against 3NT? At my table my Opponent lead their ♠ and found their partner with ♠AKQxxx ♥Axx ♦Jx ♣xx taking all 13 tricks(?!) cheating (who leads a singleton against NT for crissakes)?

So, if you save a card as My Favorite, you can't use it??

Can't login :( What's happening?

playing SAYC 1♣ - (1♥)-p-(p) 1nt shows (HCP)...??

Ty, I did mean for as many tricks as possible.

What is the best way to play this suit for ALL the tricks? AT7543 K8 1) Bang down the AK, hoping for QJ doubleton 2) Play low to the K, and, if RHO drops an honor, play low to the 10? I played low to the K, and, when RHO produced the J, finessed the 10 (option 2). Here, unfortunately, was the full layout AT7543 962 QJ K8 Did I play correctly and get unlucky, or is AK the correct play even if an honor drops?
