Last board of a KO and you are a very fast player so have 20 minutes to play this hand. Take your time.

 

QJ92 AQ Txx T98x

 

Ax Jxxxx KQ9x AQ

 

3N on the 4 of spades lead (4th best). How do you play?

I have 4 tricks in s & s (if the finesse works) and not more than 4 tricks. So I need to establish at least 1 trick, maybe 2. I can think of two lines:

 

1: Q, to the king, A, finesse and a heart.

2: Q, to the 9, A, finesse and a heart.

 

Line 1 works if s are 3-3, or J doubleton if I still have communication. Line 2 works if J is doubleton or third in front or J finesse works and are 3-3. Maybe line 2 works sometimes even if K finesse is wrong.

 

So I take line 2.
