J-4-A-5. 8-K-2-7. Declarer starts t draw trump. 3-T-Q-6. And now he plays a heart. 3-8-J-K. What should I fire back? I have a feeling a club would be a ruff and sluff. A trump is probably my safest exit, so I go with that. 9-2-J-A. Declarer shifts to spades now. 6-2-3-T. Partner tries to cash his A of spades. A-4 of diamonds-8-4. Declarer cashes his Q of clubs. Q-3-4 of hearts-6. And now the A of hearts. A-2-9-6. Ruff a heart. Ruff a spade. All trump left. Making 4.

Professor Jack disagrees with selling out to 2 diamonds. He wants me to bid 3 clubs. I don't think it's really my place to do that since I have what I said I had with my first bid. Oh well.
He then disagrees with playing the T of diamonds instead of the 9. His reasoning isn't that it's a bad signal but that he thinks it might not work out as expected. THEY'RE EQUIVALENT JACK! IT WORKS JUST AS EXPECTED!
On the replay my hand bids 3 clubs which just makes East bid 3 diamonds. They also make 4.
