♣9, singleton in partner's suit.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

♣9, blame Garozzo (or maybe partner) if wrong :P
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Heart king. With a bit of luck, I'll know what to do next.

I loled.

If partner had a spade void and enough to beat this I think he would often rip this and hope we had enough spade length to work this out (likely since they didn't bid 4S).

The HK is pretty interesting actually. We lose to some layouts like partner having the black aces though.

I tried ♥K wich wasn't a succes, partner had ♠- ♥Qxxxx ♦xx ♣AQJ9xxx

Dummy had ♠AQJx ♥x ♦HHxx ♣Kxxx so defence is still not obvious after a club lead, in fact ♥K lead only costed me 1 IMP. Also spade lead leaves some work to do.
