Double was Stayman. Opening lead is the Q, RHO contributing the 2. A small spade up produces the 9 from LHO and the 2 from RHO. What's your plan?

 

If you play either the Q or a small spade to the K...

...both opponents follow small.

J after one round of trumps, to see a few more cards. If LHO wins i would play Q spade from dummy for the reason to not lose a trump in case LHO has KQ heart and single spade, and then loosing the contract.

Too lazy to think further than that.

I think LHO must have a good hand for a vulnerable 2CL bid so i would simply play to make the contract.

In case LHO started with 4 spades, i will manage to clear the heart suit before a diamond lead (or i hope:))

What does mean 2CL, btw ?

It was Capp, showing any single-suited hand, but in this case the suit happened to be clubs, so feel free to pretend it's nat.

Wow 6 from dummy is an entry:) I should keep my 4 in my hand:)

You see u have not enough entries to finesse both hearts and spades to RHO...

I would start by running the jack of hearts. Hearts is the suit I'm going to want to try and set up eventually as my spots are so good, and I have limited entries to dummy so might as well start them now.

 

It is unclear what will happen after that or what we should do in all the possible variations.
