We think the opposite is True. Done to draw More Trumps than necessary. North South bid patiently and Well to reach an excellent Small slam in hearts. South a opening bid was artificial and forcing North a first response was a waiting bid and three hearts confirmed three card Trump support and reasonable values. When a Cue bidding sequence revealed that North held the Ace of Spades and second round Diamond control South took a shot at slam. The opening Lead brought a pleasing Dummy into View. There was a danger of losing a trick in each red suit but a heart finesse a 3-3 Diamond split and Many other lies of the cards could eliminate one or or both. Declarer won the opening Lead in hand and cashed the Ace of Trumps Felling the Queen. The King of Trumps confirmed there was a sure Trump loser so Declarer focused on the Diamond suit. Exhibiting exemplary technique South led a Diamond to the King and a Diamond Back and careful play was rewarded when East who could not Ruff profitably discarded a Spade allowing Declarer to win. A Spade to the Ace was the entry for another Diamond Lead and All was Well. If East ruffed the defender would be trumping Declarer a losing Diamond so East discarded a club. Declarer won and ruffed a Diamond on the Board. Whether or not East Over ruffed one Trump trick was All the defenders could collect. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold �T�76 9k9872 oak1062 #7 partner opens the bidding with one club. What do you respond  you held two four card suits you would have responded up the line , you would have bid one Diamond. With two five card suits however you show the higher ranking one first. Respond one heart. The strength of your suits does not enter into the matter. Q. A East West vulnerable As South you hold �T�952 9aq93 0kj7 4j85 the bidding has proceeded North East. South West 1 0 pass 1 9 pass 1 pass ? what action do you take  hand is borderline for a non forcing jump to two no Trump the modern style. However to take that action with no stopper in the undid suit courts disaster. We suggest a slight under bid of one no Trump which would show 8-10 normally. Should partner pass we doubt that game would be in the cards.
