mb|p|mb|p|mb|4S|nt|ahollan1: right -- if west hand good enough to bid -- then prefer not guessing 3@C|pg||

nt|ahollan1: but i'm pretty sure i'd PASS at table|pg||

pc|h6|pc|h8|nt|swanson: Noth considering ducking - which would limit declarer to one heart trick rather than a potential three heart tircks (should SOuth not have a spade winner).|pg||

nt|swanson: I like the @SJ lead by South (knowing that East holds at most one spade).  Might smother a big spot card.|pg||
