LHO 2♥ is weak 2♥ with 5+♥

Lead ♥4......

How would you play?

Is it a matter of choosing

33♦ or RHO have ♣Qx

or

42♦ and RHO have ♣Q (no matter how many)?

Ruff the lead, spade ace. Assuming both follow, then diamond to ace and pull trumps ending in dummy. Basically the chances are:

 

Spades 2-2: Will make if diamonds are no worse than 4-2, or the diamond jack is singleton, or if the club queen is doubleton onside or AQx onside with diamonds 5-1.

 

Spades 3-1: Will make if diamonds are 3-3, or if the diamond jack is doubleton. If neither of these happens, can still play for the club queen doubleton onside.

 

Spades 4-0: Will need to switch gears here because the entries are messed up. I would immediately play a club to the ten, hoping to find doubleton queen or AQx onside.

Yes the question is 31♠. Ruff the ♥lead, ♦ to A, 2 round of trumps ending in dummy. You know that ♠ are 31. The 2♥ opener has 3 ♠. So lets concentrate on 31♠.

 

You are at table and have only 1 trump left on table.

Do you draw last trump and play for 33♦, and hope to catch ♣Qx on your right if ♦ doesnt break?

Or you ruff a ♦ to hand 1st, ♠ to dummy, play the good ♦. Play a ♣ from table to your KT, and choose which ♣ to play? You could succeed if RHO has either ♣ honor, and you play the right ♣.
