Normal contract. Maptchpoints.
I think the world is kind. If LHO has the club King, with a Jack-high spade suit, he'd lead a higher spade, or he'd lead a club (at other tables). The only way to screw this up, then, is to become a pessimist.
Club Queen. When that holds, I'm all in. Spade Queen. Heart King, then Queen overtaken. If the heart Jack drops, I'll cash two more hearts. Spade Ace. If the spade J-10 drop, I'll cash one more spade. More likely, I just get a boring one pitch and a club thrown. Then, diamond Jack, hooking unless covered.
If it fails, I'm still all in. I win the club return and do the same thing.
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."
