On this hand clubs were trump and RHO was the declarer, and my partner led the J of spades, declarer pitching a heart. I failed to pitch the queen of diamonds. Since the dummy only had diamonds besides his high trumps after ruffing, he would have to give me a trump promotion when he played back a diamond. I missed this and discarded a heart on my partner's spade, blowing a trick.

In this position spades were trump and i needed 2 more tricks for my contract. I lead the heart 9. I knew that it was very likely LHO had the J heart, but since hearts were blocked I went up with the ace of hearts. Now I could simply lead a heart back to my hand and no matter what RHO did I could score my 3 of spades. Instead I played a diamond, derp.
