There was some kind of missunderstanding, 4♣ seemed like 0454 for south, and cue for north, then 4♠ was nothing in ♠ for south, while it was cue for the other (still an overbid probably).

 

West leads the ♣10, you duck with the hope he has no more ♣s and it is not overtaken, but west continuues with ♣9 (East plays the ♣K).

 

How do you plan to make this?.

Change suits as often as possible, as fast as possible, and hope for a revoke :)

 

If west is 7=2=2=2 with Qx♦, then ♦AK, ruff a ♦, cash ♠A, throwing a ♣, 2 rounds of ♥, ending in my hand, ♦J, pitching dummy's last ♣, ruff a ♣, ruff a ♠, draw trump and claim.

 

This requires a miracle, and an east who opens 1♣ with 4=4 in the minors (which I do not do, but I know some [including a certain pipe-smoking, island-stealing Dane] who do). East holds something like KQ Kxx 9xxx KQ87.

AK diamond

Diamond ruff,

Heart finesse (leave the spade ace)

Mike's line seems good, althou the bidding strongly suggests ♠ are 6-3, and if you knew East (that's me), he had never ever opened 1♣ with 4-4 in the minors :).

 

 

Declarer (Ozdil) here took it easy, at trick 3, just laid down the ♥A, and scored 12 tricks after ♦ finese. Well played!, and a missdefence from partner who could have played ♠ at trick 2 I guess :).
