Never mind trying to decide how to show the ♣ suit; with a 4-card Major your obligation is to use Stayman. You say 2♣ and partner bids 2♥. What now? |

♠ 7 5 ♥ K 8 5 3 ♦ 10 ♣ A Q 9 8 4 2 |
Loser List: ♠ = 0 : ♥ = 1/2 :
♦ = 1 : ♣ = 0 :: Total = 2/3
This looks like a walk in the park. Play 2 rounds of trumps, and if they split 3-2 go ahead and force the master trump out. The rest of the tricks would then be yours. But East shows out on the second trump lead. Ouch! NEXT |

♠ 7 5 ♥ K 8 5 3 ♦ 10 ♣ A Q 9 8 4 2 |
It is usually correct to leave a master trump undrawn, just let the defender ruff in whenever he wants.
Here that principle applied even though there were TWO master trumps out. Deal 68 |
