Pratap plays in 3♥ after a 4th seat opener, a Drury sequence and pard's balancing of 3♦.

 

Pard leads the ♠3, small, King, 4. I fire the 10♣ and we get our club ruff. I exit with the diamond, and declarer floats the J♥, covered and won. Now the Q♠ and a small spade.

 

Can you see how you can affect the outcome?

HIDE THAT 2♠!. On the Q and A I played the 8 and J. Declarer naturally played me for a 3=4=4=2 and hooked into pard's 10.

 

I think declarer made a mistake. With a 3=1=5=4, my pard would make a TOx of 2♥ (or 1♥ for that matter).

 

Still, chalk up a loss. Teammates blew the defense to 3♦ (don't ask me how).
