Ty, Tony, very useful. These ideas are obvious when you point them out. Let’s hope my partner and I can put them into practice!

Best of luck!

The safest return from partner at trick 2 is surely a Club and then you play your second Spade and Dummy's King is killed .as Partner probably started with AQJ10x.

Yes, if you are referring to the video at around 13:00, it would be normal to return a high club to indicate a lack of interest in the suit. Another popular system is to lead MUD (middle, up, down) from a three/card holding.
