QJ97xxxx

(At the table I had no entries to dummy. How would you play it then?)
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Low to the 9, if I can get to table. Low from hand otherwise.*

*answer attempted as a distraction from my problem sheet. Liable to be incorrect. May contain nuts.

Low to 9, if that's not possible small from hand. Both win against twice as many singletons as the other ways.

Yeah, this one is easy. But I propose a bet Fluffy:

I had this hand in a BBO tourny on Saturday. I'm willing to bet you for 5 IMPs that of the people who also played this contract with hearts as trump (these were the hearts) at least half started with the more "natural" play of the queen or jack (it was not a good idea to use an entry to dummy yet).

We can remember the IMPs for the next time we play eachother in a team match, I might need them.

the hand is sorta like one in fred's bridgemaster cd ... entries were at a premium there too, and the winning play was low from hand... rho had a stiff honor if i recall
