How to play a Suit

You have a 10-card fit in a suit, missing K and J.

The A and Q are in opposite hands.

You cannot afford to lose one trick in the suit.

What is the best line of play?

Do you play the Ace hoping to drop the singleton K.

Make your decision.

Board 22 shows 6D by West is makeable.

Seeing a definite heart loser, the diamond situation has to be guessed correctly.

33% chance the K is singleton. 

It appears only one West made the right choice, collecting 12 tricks.

A great hand to test your declarer play.

I have a spread sheet detailing how best to play a suit.

Whether 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 card fit and missing various honours.
