awful bidding, but it is makeable

You need to establish clubs, which seems to negate a diamond ruff.

But then you need 6 club tricks.

 

Win in hand and cash the K.

If the Q drops draw trumps.

If not play J and run it.

 

Next draw trumps.

 

Against a good defender I would play for the Q to drop, since if West has Qxx he could beat me by simply continuing diamonds.

opps have 10 diamonds between them and nary a word so our

rather ugleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee contract actually has some

reasonable chance since the opps hands outside of dia are

probably balanced.

 

If lho was looking at Qxx(x) clubs it would seem far easier

to imagine a defense of another diamond to try and eliminate

a crucial dummy entry. Club finesse seems wrong given the defense

thus far so I would just draw 3 rounds of trumps play the club K

followed by the J to the ace and if the Q drops fine if not we get

the poor result our ummm "bidding" deserved. OH and the trumps I would

win the first with the K the second with the ace just in case rho happens

to have 4 trumps
