♠x x x ♥10 x ♦J x x ♣A J 10 x x x,
had taken a false preference to hearts (as he is supposed to do).
My right-hand opponent held four hearts (to the QJ) and four diamonds (to the 10) and when the deal was over, I made 5♥. Passing would have been right if partner held xx in both hearts and diamonds.
With his actual hand, you can make 7♦! with the spade lead. Win, play ace, king and another heart, ruffing in the dummy. Cash the club ace and discard your spade loser. Play a spade to your hand to ruff a second heart. Play the diamond jack, ruff back to your hand to pull trumps and claim. I'm not positive, but I don't believe LHO's diamond was big enough to uppercut the dummy.
I wonder if I should just blast to 6♦ over 4♥?
Maybe I need a map; the direction I took was wrong.
