Just another random hand from that night.
In 4H:
Axxx QJ xx KTxxx
KQT AKT98xx Jxx ---
It's not terribly interesting, but I was pretty proud of myself for immediately identifying the ways to make 5H by...
1) ruffing a diamond in dummy
2) ruffing out the CA
3) breaking spades 3-3
4) running a squeeze against LHO when he has 4 spades and the CA
If they start a big diamond and shift to a heart, your diamond ruff is never going to come home. Still you need to rectify the count, so win trick 2 in dummy, ruff a club. Exit a diamond, now they play another heart. Ruff another club. If the CA hasn't fallen, run all trumps, throwing away the CK on the final trump, and then play on spades.
The defense started two rounds of diamonds, and I was allowed to ruff my diamond in dummy.
Afterward, I was looking over the hands with some friends, and they said "this hand always makes 5, move on." And I pointed out the kind of neat play, but they were like "whatever, spades are 3-3." Lame :/
