if what

Axx

KJ1098


Declarer leads the jack from hand towards Axx in dummy in 3NT. LHO, holding xx, tries to remember the proper discard playing Smith Echoes. Declarer plays him for the queen and makes only 3 when the finesse loses and the opponents run hearts. Declarer can cash out for making 4.

So I have no desire to punish, but I want to rectify and give the declarer what he would have made if __.

But if what? How many he would have made if LHO had given away the position of the queen? (Making 7). Or if LHO had played "normal tempo" and not given away the position of the queen (not risking the finesse, cashing out and making 4).
