This heartA at trick one is suspicious. With partner's heart7 showing shape - something doesn't add up. Players do lead from QJxx(x), so standard logic dictates that declarer would surely play heart10 from dummy with any three or four card holding including the king ... unless he is trying to pull a fast one with something like heartKJ93. I looked briefly into East's eyes to discern whether he was capable of such a dastardly trick..

Nah. In my dozy way I put another heart on the table and we eventually scored +200.
