Which card do you play?
Answer
4. The Declarer plays after you and may hold no Heart, so the K has not won this trick yet: if the Declarer trumps, the Queen’s 3 pips go with it. The 4 adds no pips to a trick the Declarer may take. Play a card with many pips only into a trick your side has already won.
