As is often the Case South let the 100 honors overrule judgment. Having already described a Good six card suit by jumping to three hearts there was no reason with an essentially balanced hand to remove three no Trump to four hearts. Played by North three no Trump would have required East West to conduct a letter perfect defense to Lay the contract Low Declarer won the first trick in Dummy and immediately finessed tiie Jack of hearts the Correct tech Nucal play if you consider the Trump holding in isolation. West won and continued with alow Diamond. East took the Queen and the club shift was not difficult to find. Eventually the defenders ended up with one trick in each suite just enough to fulfil their Mission. Declarer a miscue was in taking the heart finesse. At that Point Declarer was a Tempo ahead and South should have maintained the timing by suming the finesse in favor of cashing the Ace and King of Trumps. When the Queen does not fall Declarer must abandon Trumps and go about setting up a Long Spade. The defenders can take the Ace of shades whenever they like and score a Diamond trick but they won t get a club As the cards lie. Declarer can win the Ace of clubs and take a club discard on the Long Spade As West ruffs. For this line to succeed Declarer needs either to drop a Singleton or double ton Queen of hearts or to find a 3-3 Spade break or the defender with the master Trump to hold four or More Spades As Well. Without delving into the percentages that feels to be Superior to a straight finesse. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold 4a9873 95 0a102 4ak98 partner opens with one Spade. What do you respond hand is too powerful for any Spade raise. We wont. Blame you greatly if you launched directly into Blackwood but that could result in missing a grand slam or worse bidding a Small slam that has no play. We suggest you Start with a jump shift of three clubs. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold 4q63 97 0ak8 4akj1076 the bidding has proceeded South West North East 1 4 pass 1 4 pass what do you bid now obvious bid seems to be a jump to three clubs but since that is not forcing it could result in missing a Spade game. We prefer a reverse of two diamonds which creates a Orie round Force in the Modem style. If partner can rebid Spades our problems Are solved.j5r4& i a <1 t a i t Quot to a a a v a i a Ltd a in.

The problem with a double is that if the left hand opponent raises the preempt to four Spades you will have to make a decision at an elevated level when you Haven to even shown your seven card suit q.

Obviously we will Correct any bid partner makes even Spades to diamonds. Three diamonds is an under bid four diamonds bypasses three no Trump and three no Trump is too Rich for our blood.

Since our six card suit leaves a lot to be desired we opt to protect our Kings from the opening Lead by bidding two no Trump. A Tail spin katzes pet shop has 33 Kittens.
