Passing the Buck with a Bill of three hearts would be cruel to partner since North would interpret it As a competitive measure rather than Forward going. West led the King of clubs and shifted to a Low Diamond. Declarer could count nine tricks and chances of successfully finessing the Queen of Spades were negligible. The Early play had marked past for one of the missing High Diamond honors so West surely held the King of Spades to justify a vulnerable takeout double. From where was the 10th trick coming diamonds offered no Chance and Declarer had just ruled out Spades. Unlikely As it seemed that left Only the club suit As a source. Declarer won the second trick in Dummy with the Ace of diamonds and led the ten of clubs discarding a Diamond As West won the Jack. The Diamond return was ruffed and after cashing the Ace of hearts Declarer crossed to the Jack of hearts in the process drawing the last Trump to Lead the nine of clubs. On this trick Declarer discarded a Low Spade As West won the Ace. Dummy a eight of clubs was now a Winner and Declarer still had a Trump entry to the table. No matter what the defenders did Declarer would ditch the Queen of Spades on the Good club and Chalk up the contract. Q.

However you have Only nine tricks in hand and we could make a convincing Case that partner might have Good enough hearts to Stop the opponents from running five tricks yet hive no other trick for you. So we have a sneaky admiration for anyone who bids three no Trump. Q.

Bid four hearts. That simply says that you want to play in a heart game and does not Promise additional values. Partner must pass.  73 is v a 2 -5 of at n a i inn run 6�?T \ \ a \ \ v7\ by w a Quot re .0 o a o k \ is i Jurj la a order up objects on the 0 u Are arranged in he Aid scr a pull up Bosses s0/ r�0p?aels step a of ailed ukr a sap pass fal amp air use reverse English a palindrome is a word phrase or sentence that reads the same in both directions.
