As you would not expect West
to be leading from ♠AQJ, you
should place ♠A with East.
Once you do that, you should
realise that ♥Q will be with
West. If East had ♥Q, East
would have responded.
You play low on the first
spade and West continues with ♠J.
You play low from dummy
again and West continues with
a third spade. You ruff and turn
your attention to the trumps.
The normal play in hearts
with this combination is to lead
to ♥K and finesse ♥J next if ♥Q has not yet appeared. Here,
you know the heart finesse is
sure to fail. Therefore, cash ♥K and ♥A, hoping that West
started with ♥Q doubleton. And
you are home safely!

If you don’t fail,
You don’t learn.
If you don’t learn
You’ll never change!’
