Although South must have virtually all the hidden goodies, unless you can count the tricks it is usually bad form to rise in situations like this, when you will be establishing an opponent's suit. If South has diamond3 then no doubt you will have another opportunity to win diamondA when he leads towards dummy for a second time. After diamondJ wins, spade4 is led from dummy, East plays the three and declarer inserts the eight. What will you play when you win with the nine?
