Match points, your agressive bidding gets a good dummy reward.

 

LHO leads ♥5. And lets say you try low from dummy and capture RHO's ♥J with your queen.

 

a low spade is led to the king, and RHO drops ♠10 under it.

 

Now say you call for ♣10 from dummy and RHO plays ♣J and you win.

 

 

Now if you could just test if ♣J is singleton it could be a big inference about how the spades lie. But it doesn't seem very easy to do so without jamming your comunications. Any ideas?

I'd just assume it was a singleton. Covering from Jx could be very costly.

I'd like to go back and interpolate DA, DJ off the table before playing on clubs. Otherwise we're committing to leading a major suit now, given our relative lack of entries to hand.
