Textbook

Playing in the Buchanan Saturday teams I overbid to 4♠:

After the first few tricks I'm in dummy and ready to play trumps. If I can play trumps for no losers I can make it. I lead the ♠J and ... took the finesse. This failed (and in fact there's no way to succeed) but playing the ♠A is the right play. By this point West has shown up with ♦AKJ and so East must have the ♠K, both to give him enough points to double, and because West didn't respond to the double.

It's a textbook hand, which I'm sure I would have got right in a book, but didn't at the table. Nor did the other declarer on the same defence though, but the opponents got other stuff right and we lost the match 21-32.
