What line of play gives you the best chance to make and what is your reasoning? Probably best for advanced/expert to use hidden text.

J?

 

If clubs divided 3-3 or diamonds divide 3-2 we are making it. In case they both dont, we can try for a miinor suits squeeze. The J rectifies the count.

 

The only problem is a spade return after losing J, we have to decide what to discard from dummy. Discarding a diamond gives up chances of picking up 4 diamonds with West and 4 clubs with East. Discarding a club gives up 3-3 clubs.

 

Maybe I shouldn't have played three rounds of spades.. probably J at trick 2 would have been better.

 

Anyway, I just woke up, so I am not even able to tell if I am way off (which is probably the case)
