North opened a weak no trump and South asked for a major. When North failed to deliver South bid 2♥ and played there.

My parter led the ♦Q.

Dummy hits and although the Queen would normally ask for reverse attitude it's pretty clear what I think of them. But I can give suit preference and since I like clubs more than spades I'll play small. Haha, like I have a choice holding six to the seven; I play the deuce.

Declarer starts with a heart to my nine, the Jack and partner takes the Queen. Some thought later a small club appears, I put up the ♣K and it holds the trick. Looks like partner was watching and has under led the Ace. I wonder if he would like two ruffs.

If partner started with ♣AQxx I can get in again with another club. I play the ♦3, declarer follows and partner trumps. More agonising from partner then a club to my Jack holds.

Declarer ruffs my next diamond with the ♥8. Bother, looks like it would have been better had partner held the nine.

♠ Q 5 4 2 ♥ A Q 7 4 ♦ Q ♣ A Q 8 3		♠ J 8 ♥ 9 ♦ 7 6 5 4 3 2 ♣ K J T 9
	♠ K 9 7 3 ♥ K J 8 6 3 ♦ T 8 ♣ 5 2

Still, declarer ruffing that diamond means it's no good for a second spade pitch. In the end declarer must lose a spade, three hearts and two clubs failing by one trick.
