That was the line my friend took, but there must be a better one. How about leading spadeK at trick two with the intention of playing on cross-ruff lines? If the defence switch to a trump then we'll win in dummy, cash two top hearts, return to clubK, cash spadeQ and cross-ruff the last six tricks. That must be better.
