Content that he had found a good fit at a low level, South quietly signed off in 2spade after his partner had shown an unbalanced hand in the 9-15 range. However, when his partner made a game try, South uprated his modest hand and jumped to game. When dummy came down, declarer could see that they had reached a good game on minimal values. How would you plan the play on the lead of clubQ?
