Deal 7	♠ ? ♥ ? ♦ ? ♣ ?		WEST   NORTH   EAST   SOUTH 1♥ pass 2♥ pass 4♥ pass pass pass     You have a nice hand, but 20 points is not strong enough to open 2♣. So you open 1♥. Partner raises to 2♥. What do you bid now?

Deal 7	♠ 10 6 4 ♥ K J 7 ♦ 8 6 ♣ J 7 5 3 2		WEST   NORTH   EAST   SOUTH 1♥ pass 2♥ pass 4♥ pass pass pass   Partner's raise to 2♥ shows 6-10 points. You figure that should be enough for game but even if he has the full 10 you are not in slam range. So you bid the game. South plays 4♥. West leads ♠A, then switches to ♥2.

Deal 7	♠ 10 6 4 ♥ K J 7 ♦ 8 6 ♣ J 7 5 3 2		South plays 4♥. West leads ♠A, then switches to ♥2. Losers: ♠ 2 : ♥ 0 : ♦ 1 : ♣ 1 : Total = 4 It's a good thing you stopped at game - partner's hand is about as bad as it could be. The PLAN turns out simple. You can't avoid either of the three black losers so you must eliminate the ♦ loser. You can ruff it in dummy. Just to be safe you pull one more round of trumps, then play ♦A, ♦K and ♦5, ruffing in dummy. You will eventually get to your hand (with a ♠ or a ♣ ruff) and pull the last trump.

Deal 7	♠ 10 6 4 ♥ K J 7 ♦ 8 6 ♣ J 7 5 3 2		This PLAN was not difficult. Only a real beginner would have pulled all the trumps and not been able to ruff that ♦.  Deal 8
