655321 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I would just play AK of Spades, then take the club finesse. If that wins, ♣A, and if the K is still out, ♣ ruff. This seems to need the ♣K to be with the opening bidder, and also needs the second round of clubs to live so that we have time to pitch a heart on the clubs. If clubs behave, we are cold whenever spades are 3-2, and might well make when East has 4 spades. If the ♠Q is doubleton we still need the ♣K onside.

When I first posted my answer I forgot for a moment that the contract was 5♠ instead of 4♠, so I included a line saying that we still make when spades are 4-1 offside. When I remembered the contract was 5♠ I realised that sentence was nonsense, so I replaced my post with "..." while I was editing it. The forum software does not let you make a completely blank post, so I think the dots are a fairly common way of removing a nonsense post while you are editing it, at least I have seen the same thing before.
