With partner's 16-18 points you probably have enough strength for game. With partner's six ♥s you have an 8-card fit. So you bid 4♥. North would play 4♥. Click ROTATE |

♠ A J 6 5 2 ♥ 10 4 ♦ Q 7 4 3 ♣ J 6 |
South plays 4♥. West leads ♣A, ♣K, ♣4. East
plays ♣8 then ♣2.
Losers: ♠ 0 : ♥ 0 : ♦ 1 : ♣ 3 : Total = 4 Suppose you discard a ♦ from dummy. If East doesn't ruff this ♣ then your ♣Q will win. You could then try to establish dummy's ♦Q to discard your fourth ♣ on. But you know that plan won't work because East IS going to ruff this ♣ if you discard. You only have one chance to make this contract, and that is the chance that East was not dealt the ♥J. So you ruff with dummy's ♥10 and pray East doesn't over-ruff. Click NEXT to see the full deal. |
