I find this a difficult problem. My instinct tells me to duck the ♣A, twice if necessary. I would hope for the 8 or Q of trumps with partner. That means that I gave declarer one trick, but that he has to fight for the other ones.

I may be looking like an idiot. I may even be an idiot. But it would be the way I would play.

Not idiotic, IMO...certainly worthy of consideration. Well, maybe ducking a second time would be :rolleyes:

There might be a difference between underleading a bullet at trick one and underleading one when getting a re-entry later.

The difference might involve having more information, seeing dummy, etc.


As south give my ♣A and ♠Q to declarer, give his ♠A and ♦Q to me and i would definetely underlead my ♠A, and pd playing J would feel bad. As i said there are other hands for south that we can construct where almost everyone would prefer to underlead their ♠A when N holding KJxxxx.

Another thing you said was that pd can not have ♠J due to play of K at T1, but then how can he possibly have 7 ♠ anyway ? :)

that is not what I said. I said he either doesn't have it or he doesn't want me to lead to him in spades when I get in.
