Deal 6     4♠	♠ K 10 7 5 ♥ 6 ♦ K 8 3 ♣ Q J 9 5 2		Play a small ♥. Partner's ♥8 lead is a high spot card, either top-of-nothing, or a singleton or doubleton. He definitely does not have an honor, which means that South holds ♥ A Q J. In other words, your ♥K is dead in the water. BUT, if you play it to this trick you hand South three ♥ tricks, while if you play a low ♥ he can only get 2 winners in the suit. The extra winner would permit South to discard 2 of dummy's ♦ losers, and this would give South the contract.  Deal 7
