Who will be first to suggest the best way to play the following combination for 1 loser (assuming you have as many entires as required to either hand)?

AJ32 opposite K954

that will lose 2 tricks when there is singleton Q offside.

AH then small to the JH I think.

This should guard against a singleton Q on either side or the worst case scenario of QTxx in either hand - e.g. after 1 round of hearts:

_____J32

QT8______-

_____K95


or


____J32

-_______QT8

____K95

Both will be picked up for one loser if a small heart is played towards the J.

The correct play for 1 loser is to play the Ace and then small to the 9.
David's method also works well but is not optimum since it does not allow the suit to be played continuously.
