Declarer play question
I problem from a recent club night that I'd welcome opinion on. Playing pairs, at all green, how do you play this hand:
JTxx, QJTx, x, QJxx in dummy
A9xxx, Axx, x, K9xx in hand
I opened 1S as dealer, LHO overcalled 5D, your partner bid 5S, and that eneded the bidding.
LHO led the DA and continued with the DK.
I ruffed in dummy and pitched a club from hand. Are you okay with that at trick two?
What next?

Hi Scott,
Well obviously it's not looking good with a trump a diamond and a club to lose plus maybe a heart so we're just trying to minimise the damage. I'm an old fashioned boy so I'll play JS next and run it if not covered. What can go wrong ?

I'm not saying that is wrong, but it could lose to a singleton honour and mean two trump losers when low to the ace is a trick better. That is the choice I guess. If you were in hand you could start with low toward dummy, but that isn't the case this time.

Barry, just spotted my typo in the question. Your spades are meant to be A8xxx
Must have seemed a bit of a silly question.
Sorry
