North must play a low card ! If Declarer holds the ♥J, Dummy's Queen will be captured by Partner's King. North must hold his ♥A in order to try and capture Declarer's Jack. This way Declarer's side will make no trick in hearts. Next
If Declarer holds both ♥K and ♥J, North should still play low the first time, and save his Ace to capture either one of Declarer's heart Honours next (or a later) trick.
