I think you're getting ahead of yourself, since the question was "play or defend?".

I think I can make it on anything OTHER than a ♦ lead:
w/ ♣ finesse and ♥ finesse.

Play I think: this seems to work on a diamond lead.

Um, the bidding? How did we end up in 6♥ on a 4-2 fit? B-)

The bidding is right there. ;)

The concept of play or defend is to decide whether or not the contract makes, seeing all 52 cards. Incidentally,

6 spades makes easily, even single dummy and 6 hearts double dummy.

As I have no idea, how to use a spoiler, you need to believe me that 6 spades makes easily, even single dummy and 6 hearts double dummy

To make a spoiler, type your message. Select the part you want hidden, then use the Other Styles menu and select Spoiler.

I like getting those number of tricks possible on the hands records. It give interesting double dummy problems that i can bring in the bathroom. Recently there was a hand where you can make exactly 10 tricks but not more in all denomination. Only in 1 of the 5 denomination the play was easy so in the end it was like getting four double dummy problems with the same cards.
From Psych "I mean, Gus and I never see eye-to-eye on work stuff.
For instance, he doesn't like being used as a human shield when we're being shot at.
I happen to think it's a very noble way to meet one's maker, especially for a guy like him.
Bottom line is we never let that difference of opinion interfere with anything."
