Partner's jump to 3NT is a lebensohl method. He is describing a hand with which he would have bid 3NT if there had been no overcall. But he is warning you that he DOES NOT HAVE a ♥ stopper! Since you DO have a ♥ stopper you decide to pass and play 3NT. Click NEXT to continue. |

You need two more winners. Barring a 4-0 ♣ split your two extra winners will be the ♣5 and ♣3. So after winning the ♥A, you play a ♣ to dummy's ♣Q and breathe a sigh of relief when both defenders follow suit. NEXT |

If you did then just look at the situation now. If the ♣J doesn't fall on the next trick the suit will be blocked. Now go back in time and play the ♣10 to dummy's ♣Q. NEXT |

You need two more winners. Barring a 4-0 ♣ split (surely you're not THAT unlucky) your two extra winners will be the ♣5 and ♣3. So after winning the ♥A, you play a ♣ to dummy's ♣Q and breathe a sigh of relief when both defenders follow suit. UhOh. Surely you didn't play your ♣4 to dummy's ♣Q??? If you did then just look at the situation now. If the ♣J doesn't fall on the next trick the suit will be blocked. Now go back in time and play the ♣10 to dummy's ♣Q. That's better. Now under the ♣ A K you can unblock the ♣ 9 7, which will leave you with the ♣4 to slip under dummy's ♣5. NEXT for the full Deal. |
