Cover the East West cards with your thumbs and decide How you would play the hand in six Spades. Then see whether you would play the hand the same Way if the contract were four Spades South was awfully timid in the bidding. With a Good six card suit and prime values we would have expressed mild slam interest by first jumping to three Spades then correcting a probable three no Trump rebid from partner to four Spades playing at six Spades you have a certain loser in the Ace of diamonds the Only Way to escape losing a club trick is for the finesse to win and if the King of clubs is with West guarded Only twice the club suit will furnish two discards via a repeat finesse. And you wont have to worry about finding the Ace of diamonds favourably located As Well to avoid a second loser in that suit four Spades is another matter. Here you want to try to keep East off Lead so you done to lose three Diamond tricks and a club. Take the Spade Lead in Dummy and Lead a heart. If East follows Low finesse your nine. West can wire and return Trump. You win Cash the King of hearts enter Dummy with the Ace of dubs and Cash the Ace of hearts discarding a club from hand. Now Lead the Queen of clubs and if East follows Low discard a Diamond if East covers Ruff. Either Way you must make at least 10 tricks unless the distribution is really foul. What if East plays a heart Honor on the first Lead of the suit win the King draw Trumps and try the club finesse in the Hope that one of the two key cards you need is Well placed. Q. A neither vulnerable As South you hold a 4ak753 9aj75 0 a 462 partner opens the bidding with one club. What do you respond  the modern style you make a jump shift response Only with a self sufficient suit of your own or with a Good fit for partner. This hand measures up on neither count so All you can do for the moment is respond one Spade. You w ill make a forcing bid at your next turn. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold 47 9ak7652 <>ak8 4a72 the bidding  proceeded South West North East 1 9 pass 2 4 pass ? what do you bid now  a jump shift shows either a self sufficient suit or support for partners suit you Are heading for slam. The Only question is where Spades or hearts. Bid three hearts.
