The bidding (no interference): 1S 2C 2D 2NT 4NT 6NT

Now firstly what do you think of the auction?

Secondly West leads the J of Clubs, how do you play it?

the bidding is quite nice not the best bcoz there could be two cashing heart tricks (or 6..)
and also there may be is the points but unless slightly short of trick potential but it has chances

and the play, is surely easy? assuming oppo can a) defend and aren't stupid

take trick one with Kc and lead a heart fity \/ fity

reasons
a) that lead is JTxx if it is Jx or JTx the guy is a M*R*N
even if clubs do split 3-3 and compitent defender can see that they must lead a heart after getting in with a club - p either has it or the KS
c) only way to get a twelth trick
d) if we cashing spades might get juicy club discards but im not holding my breath
e) if A is over west gets in and might assume i have QH so could continue a club so i can cash out one off..

i rule

Not so. 2NT would normally show a heart stop. Otherwise Fourth Suit Forcing.

If the lead is from JTx, ducking the first club might work in an attempt for a rounded suit squeeze (there are 11 tricks, so the loser count needs rectification. This does have the problem of one oppo cashing the A of hearts at trick 2...

2h would indeed be fouth suit forcing
and where exactly is that taking us?? err....2H is indeed FSF to game in this situation

and that 11 count is not that good
2n is a nice limit

no?

tru3 if you play it that way, but i'm in prague so bid what you like!!!

2NT is fine, but 4NT is garbabe considering u rate 2 have 27 BAL between u MAX.

3NT is limit.

ronald!! I played american football on tuesday

padless
and only 8 a side so it was more just a bit of fun at a college bowl
GREY BOWL like the superbowl just college wise

was sweet but the tackling rules s**k its quite nice being able to jsut shoulder barge people all the time though ahhhhhh

and u cna take in teh appluase after u decapitate someone )))))




but bridge 27 pt count maX??????? u crazy man

4n bidder has 19 p has made 2/1 and limited himself with 2n and shown 10-12
to get to 27 MAX(so he cud be even weaker) south is responding 2/1 with an 8 count and then not signed off in 2S, 27 max, ur havin a laugh
