Contract 3N. Lead HQ on which E throws C5 (reverse count). Your plan?
Say you play a spade to the 5, Q and 3 (reverse count), then DA (to 4, 3 and
9), then D7 to 8 and .......?
Say you go up with DQ and it loses to the K and another H comes back (C2
discarded). Now what?

Contract 4S. D8 led. Your plan?
Say you win in dummy (E encourages) and lead H6 to 5, K and 2 (rev. count),
you cash HA (9, 6, 3) and ruff the 3rd round with S4 (W plays the 10, E the
J). So far so good, but now what?
