You have QJx, Kx, Kxxx, Axxx  not vul vs vul. 1S 2H 3H(by you) P 3S 4H
with the controls and the vul, you decide to teach the opps a lesson about respecting vulnerability and dbl. Having already shown spade support(you have the min of 3 cards) pard can always pull. You lead the SQ, dummy hits disappointingly with
 
xxx
1098x

QJ10xx
 
 
Declarer wins the Ace and leads a low heart. Do you play the king, or low?  Are the Swan players doing it again to you(see your play below)?

Your partner has the hA.... most likely stiff.
Declarer, with 10 cds Hts, would probably bang down the A if he had it.

From the title of the thread you should probably play the king

The problem is you showed the protected HK on the auction.
Thus the choice is playing declarer to have AQJxxx and trying to hoodwink you, or did he bid 4H on QJxxxx Vul vs not and a mediocre hand?

Happened to me today in Monterey.  Pard had the singleton Ace.  I agree with twofer.  Seems awful to not play that king holding kx, but I was wrong to throw it out there.  Wish it had been Ax.  Then it's easy to wait.
