Your enemy the Declarer also is tuned in to your Wavelength and could use that information against you. Four hearts was reached in Quick time despite the intervention. West dutifully led a Spade and East cashed three Spade tricks. On the second trick West discarded the ten of diamonds then followed with the Deuce. An obedient East shifted to a Diamond. However Declarer was a far from disinterested Spectator to these proceedings. After deciding West was an honest and upright citizen South elected to spurn the Diamond finesse in favor of a minor suit squeeze. Declarer shot up with the Ace of diamonds and ran All the Trumps. With one round still to come Dummy was do we to one Diamond and four clubs and West held the King of diamonds and four clubs. On the last Trump West who had to keep four clubs to guard against Dummy a suit was forced to stuff the King of diamonds. That promoted Declarer a Queen of diamonds to the fulfilling trick. East could do nothing other than shift to diamonds at trick four so there was no reason for West to broadcast the news about the location of the Diamond King. Given no help Declarer is virtually on a straight guess whether to try the squeeze or the finesse. With nothing else to go by we think Declarer would have been swayed by the Overall to finesse. Q. A neither vulnerable As South you hold 4kq10543 9q10 96 4qj103 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 2 4 pass 2 4 pass 3 9 pass 3 4 pass 4 9 pass ? a artificial and forcing what do you bid now  get overexcited it looks As if you have a glorious misfit. You have already shown a six card Spade suit so for the moment be Content with a simple preference to four hearts. The next move is up to partner. Q. A neither vulnerable As South you hold 4akj6 985 9q9872 452 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 1 it pass 2 4 pass 2 9 pass ? what do you bid now  almost surely has at least three card Diamond support because the response to Stayman denied four cards in either major. So what despite a potentiality tenuous heart holding you should not look for an 11 trick contract with your balanced 10 Points. Bid three no Trump.

A As South vulnerable you hold 4a54 963 99852 4kj76 partner opens the bidding with one dub. What do you respond  no stopper in either red suit we would avoid one no Trump and a one Diamond response could Lead to trouble later. Bid two clubs. What if partner made a a a prepared one club opening on a three card suit so you play a 4-3 fit which might actually be your Best spot. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold 4q8763 9akj54 98 462 partner opens the bidding with one Diamond. What do you respond  two five card suits always bid the higher ranking first regardless of buit Quality. That a just the opposite of what you do with four baggers. Therefore bid one Spade. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold 4q1076 9qj9 9kqj5 483 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 1 4 pass 1 9 pass 2 4 pass ? what do you bid now  one thing you can to do in bid two Spades that would be a reverse forcing to game and partner has already denied four Spades. With a balanced 11 Points and reasonable intermediates invite game by bidding two no Trump. Q. A both vulnerable As South you hold 483 9kqj6 9aqj83 462 the bidding has proceeded North East South West 3 4 pass ? what do you bid now  you follow the Rule of two and three this is a close decision. Partner promises seven tricks and you could easily deliver the three needed for game. However we feel that at Best you will be on a finesse for four Spades so we would pass.
