Well the best plan is to play exactly the same at both forms of scoring! After diamondA cash one top spade, throwing a club, and then two more rounds of diamonds. The hearts are safe from attack and clubA is still there as the vital entry for the remaining diamonds. If you take the liberty of initially cashing two top spades and throw a heart - you're off!

South should have led a heart ... or clubK!!!!!!
