South is the declarer and
can attempt to finesse either opponent - a two way finesse.
Assuming West has the SQ, South can play the SK, then lead a low Spade
to dummy's SJ, take the SA and maybe even run a fourth Spade if
opponents are 3 - 3 in Spades.
Conversely, South could take the
SA, play a low to the S10, run the SK and if opponents are 3 - 3, play
up to DA and cash the last Spade. Prudent players use strategies
as counting opponents points (bidding and play) to assess the best way
to finesse. Better yet, consider another tactic such as the
Strip and Endplay
