Low spade now especially if opps are weak (though they're probably not that weak if they know to bid 3C on KQxxxx), it'll make if spades are 7-1 (and LHO doesn't smell a rat), if not then I'm -3 
. It would be pretty awesome if spades are AJTxxx-KQ and LHO puts the T in.

Yep, most likely layout is LHO having AQJTxxx, then they have to be on the ball (cue epic hand where you have to play a low spade from Kx to induce a fake crocodile for 9th trick!), and you have some edge if RHO has 2 honors doubleton and LHO pops though thats unlikely.
LHO put in the ten this time and then for the icing on the cake I was able to claim on a double squeeze when RHO won his club. I liked this hand because it just involves creative thinking rather than some kind of memorization or w/e.
These kind of positions only seem to come up in drunk bbo games!

Maybe take, diamond to the king and T♥ from the table with the plan of running it if RHO doesn't cover ?
LHO didn't lead spades and could still be convinced we have a stopper so maybe he will not play them again and we win with hearts 3-3. Not a big chance but at least something
Oh, I saw the answer. That was my first instinct to try clubs but somehow I thought they are probably 6-2. Nice play
