Play the ♥4, do not split your Honors.
South's bidding showed at least 5 ♥s, so assuming he holds both the ♥ A Q, it would be silly for him to finesse the ♥9 on the first trump play. As it turns out, when you play low South calls for dummy's ♥K, East's ♥Q falls and you now have 2 trump tricks. If you had played the ♥10 you would have tossed away the setting trick. Deal 3 |
