Thinking that partner was asking for an unusual lead, I looked at my suits and selected clubJ. If partner could ruff, my highest club was to indicate that I wanted a high suit, i.e. hearts, returned at trick two. No, partner did not ruff but won with clubA and returned heartK.

How do you plan the defence?
