We had this almost textbook hand yesterday. I will not disclose the theme, I will leave it on to you. And please, advanced players, do not spoil it (there is a way to hide hints but not sure it is available on phone, like the diagram).

It is MPs, all red.

LHO deals and opens 1D, partner Xes and you bid 4S with this small opening with 6 trumps:


Kxxxxx
Axx
Jx
Kx


The lead is the DK and dummy is a pleasant sight as 10 tricks look now certain (RHO is not trumping your DA, diamonds are not 9-0):

AQxx
KQxx
Ax
xxx


But it is MP so any overtrick will be welcome.

For everybody's convenience...

I have used the smallest cards to replace the x's in OPs hand diagram

Spoiler

Win with the ace, draw trumps, play four rounds of hearts. If they are 3-3, pitch the losing diamond on the fourth heart, otherwise ruff in hand and throw West in with the ♦J to lead round to your ♣K or give a ruff and discard.

Thanks you both for the help.

Kaitlin s topic that comes next probably raises a good question.
