Don't be Greedy

No matter how you reach this game (and you should), don't get greedy after East cashes ♥AK and continues with another heart, no matter how West marks. In the IntoBridge daily 12, 100 players simply discarded something or ruffed too low.

Instead, ruff with the ♠K, and throw away your ♣K on the ♦Q. Nothing can happen to the contract after that discard. You might even be lucky and find the ♠Q singleton

East, of course, could play a low club first, and West could then return a heart. But that play never happens. More likely, East could switch to clubs after the ♥A. An expert player might find this defense. It should cost almost nothing because North is unlikely to be able to discard all hearts. Lia on IntoBridge did not play like this.
