You tell me! All you have to do is establish your long suit, prevent declarer from reaching dummy and watch partner's discards carefully while you cash winners, but this type of non-deal will often see a plus score in the wrong column. At the table South scored +90 when East exited with diamondK - but three out of four pairs let this one through - one with an overtrick!
