This hand proved to be too tough for me:

Scoring: IMP


1S - 2NT (around a limit raise)
3C (artificial, not a bust) - 4S

West leads the club 10, plan the play.

If you start with 3 rounds of diamonds, assume they split, west showing an even number.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the 3.

Besides playing for fun, most people also like to play bridge to win

forget about diamonds and play 3 rounds of hearts to start with. Discard you club and if player with 3 spades ruffs (or LHO with Ax) you are already cold, no need for diamonds to split.

At match points, feeling the urge to outscore 4, we can try a wild line such as 3+ ruff + A + hoping RHO ducks with Kxx
