Matchpoints, all vulnerable.

Your are East - your system is 4 card suits, Majors before minors, weak NT
Your defensive agreements are a primarily reverse count based defense, with attitude and suit preference secondary.

Partner leads a trump, declarer wins and plays a second high trump from hand.

What card do you play at Trick 2 and why?

I am going to pitch the H5, which the way I play, asks for a C from partner. I hope to take a couple of Clubs, a D and a H.

declarer is most likelly 5233, the only trick that we are fighting for is the third club and that will be possible only if we let declarer make a diamond trick he doesn't have to, so I discard a discouraging diamond. A big encouraging heart could be aloso good, but fails in partner has 3 small without the 10. Stil it might be better since opening clubs doesn't seem good.

I still go for discouraging diamond and let partner choose.
