After partner's splinter bid, you land in 7 with a club lead. Your plan?
Choose One:
Win and play more clubs.
Win and play diamonds.
Win and draw trump (they are 3-1).
Win and play spades.
Other.
Answer: 4 -
Win and play spades. The only losers are the two little spades in hand. You can trump them in dummy and then draw trump and claim. Win the club, cash the A and trump a spade. Come to the K (safer than a club, since the lead might be a singleton) and trump the last spade. Then A, Q (overtake) and draw trump. This is the full deal:
with:
A62 
K4 
AKQ.
