Answer 2 - Yes, if LHO has two clubs and one spade, the following line of play works just fine. Win diamondA, cash one high spade (all follow), Play clubA, clubK, club ruff high, draw two more rounds of trump ending in dummy (LHO shows up with two clubs and one spade), ruff another club, lead a heart to dummy, and cash the last club. Dummy remains with diamondJx and heartK, your hand contains two small hearts and the last trump. Which three cards would you like your LHO to save?
