Deal 2     4♠	♠ Q J 8 4 ♥ A J 6 ♦ A K ♣ K Q 9 8		Lead the ♥2. Against confident bidding an attacking lead is probably called for and having the Ace of trumps makes a singleton lead a particularly good choice. If declarer plays low in dummy partner will win the ♥K and give you an immediate ruff. You play a ♣ back to partner and get another ruff for down 2. Declarer would be better off to go up with the ♥A at the first trick and try to pull trumps. This would still not be good enough. You win your ♠A, and lead a ♣ to partner's hand. He can then win his ♥K and lead a third ♥ for you to ruff. Down 1.  Deal 3
