Bridge Deal of the Week (Sep 15 2006)

Problem:

The Auction:
West   North   East   South
                                 1♥
1♠      2♥       3♣     4♥
all pass

The opponents chimed in with black suit bids to contribute to a lively auction. Your 4♥ bid silences them, and ends the auction. West leads the ♣J, covered by the Queen, King, and ruffed in hand. You continue with the ♥A, and the ♥10 (you might as well tempt west to cover!) to the Queen. Your efforts were in vain, as East discards a club to this trick (and West gives you a pitying look). What is your basic plan?
