Declarer’s plan in Four Hearts and Three Notrump
In Four Hearts if clubs break 3-2 or a defender has the jack single, win the lead with the ace and ruff a club at trick two to steer to ten tricks. After ruffing, cash hearts and spades, then repeat ruffs and a diamond to the ace to reach ten. In Three Notrump start with a low diamond to the jack after winning ace of clubs. If South holds A10x, the play forces three diamonds and ensures nine plus tricks. If South wins, cover with eight to stay in control. The low diamond on trick three covers all lines and guarantees three diamonds and two tricks in other suits.
