Divide and Rule
Let’s focus on the possible variations:
if hearts split either 5-3 or 4-4 your move is not relevant: the defenders have at least five six or six five tricks to cash. So, you must rely on your only chance: the suit splitting 6-2.
Let’s say, then, that you win the ace trying to block the suit.
Good move. However, even with hearts blocked the contract is desperate, the lack of communication does not allow you to make clubs good and enjoy them.
Still, you play a club to the king and … surprisingly you win the trick (yes, I’m joking).
