The opening lead is a trump. S: J98 H: AK63 D: AK542 C: Q S: AKQ10 H: 54 D: Q3 C: A9653 I think I'll gamble on a four-two break in spades and diamonds. I claim if this is the distribution. The play proceeds: win spade, AC, club ruff, duck a diamond. I plan on using the QD if necessary as an entry to draw trumps. I'll win 4 spades, 4 diamonds, 2 hearts, 1 club, 1 rough. 12 tricks. Or 2 roughs and only 3 diamonds if the opponents so desire(ie they return a club).
