When this hand was played against me my opponents made very heavy weather of it and surprisingly went off.
The opponents cash the first three tricks and then switch to a trump.
All you have to do now is be focused on the Clubs and establish them.
Play for clubs to be either 3:3 or the Club King coming down in two rounds. So after winning the trump immediately play a club and trump it (No unnecessary risky finesses here>) Now enter dummy with a trump and ruff another club and when the club king falls in three rounds its now plain and easy sailing.
You maker 4 natural trump tricks (from dummy which has now become the short hand but what is in effect a dummy reversal) 2 Club ruffs. 1 Club and 3 established Clubs.
