Whats your best line of play?
/* ---------- */

This is similar to "try this hand".  The same principle "don't commit
yourself too early" applies here, too.

At round two, play a low spade from table and ruff in hand.  Draw trumps.
Now lead a low heart from hand.
If heart holds, discard the second heart on dummy's SQ.  You may lose at
most another club.  This works if trump break is no worse than 4-1.
If you lose the first heart, then you have a heart entry to the table
and can discard three clubs under dummy's SQ and two good heart tricks.
