Most experts go to 3 on 9 hcp, and Paul Soloway blasts with 8, because the upside of making most vulnerable games outweighs the occasional disaster.  |pg||mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|mb|-|mb|-|mb|-|pg||pc|ST|nt|In the old days, West might lead the J as top of an interior sequence.  But playing coded T and 9 he leads the T to show precisely 0 or 2 higher cards, and if there are 2 higher it is a touching tenace.|pg||pc|S6|pc|SQ|nt|East looks at dummy and in hand to determine whether West could have the AJ.  If South has them, the Q is dead anyway, but if West has them he needs to know that it is safe to continue @Ss.  |pg||pc|SK|pg||
pc|DQ|nt|Ordinarily West should cover the Q, to promote the possible 9xxx in the East hand.  But with Ax in dummy there is no reason to play the K.  South hopes that West will blindly follow the 'rule' and cover, but West has been paying attention!|pg||pc|D2|pc|DT|pc|D8|pg||

pc|CK|nt|East plans to let partner cash his @Ss, but first MUST cash the good @C - otherwise he has no entry outside of @Cs, and if West is out that trick goes away.  Avoid the trap of neglecting the big picture when focusing on one suit.  |pg||pc|C6|pc|H3|pc|C7|pg||
pc|S5|nt|The killing @S return spells doom for declarer, who must pitch winners on West's run of the @S.  Notice also that if West had gotten in with the @DK, he would know it is safe to run the @Ss, because East played the Q at Trick 1.  Otherwise it would be a guess.|pg||pc|S3|pc|S9|pc|S7|pg||
