At 29:57, you can actually avoid being end-played by putting on the jack or queen instead of the four of hearts. And then discard the other honor under the ace. That way they can't put you on lead.
Question for that last hand. Aren't you damaging your chances by playing the 2nd spade? If partner has 2, he will have no spades left to return. If you switch, then if he ever gets in, he can return one, beating the contract.
Wrong. Ace is for unblock or count, King is for attitude, playing standard signals. I actually prefer Rusinow, so that King shows Ace-King, and Ace denies the King.

You would need to be sure your partner has 10H and they are hanging on to it otherwise declarer may have it or win with the 9
Thanks!
