I believe that the USA currently hold only the World Championship For People Who Still Bid Like Your Auntie Gladys - dburn
dunno how to play 4 card majors - JLOGIC
True but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision? - Hideous Hog

Good question.
There wasn't actually any play as the hand came up in bidding practice at a BBO partnership bidding table.
Lets assume a normal heart lead - partner's suit.
♥ 5 to the ace
♣ 6 at trick two LHO follows with the four

From the bidding i would imagine that both opponents are (63) in the majors (its unlikely that both failed to show 4 card suppost at the first opportunity, but it would depend on methods).
With this in mind i know i can't pick up KJx onside, so im just playing small to the queen.

Also, he rates to not have a heart void when he leads the ♥3.

♦ to the Queen. I cannot pick up KJx onside, so I'll try to pick up Kx...
Yay for the "Ignored Users" feature!

Why did North bid 6♦? Didn't 5♣ already show a very distributional hand?
Trying to learn, I have many questions.

Yes is did. Although perhaps not necessarily this good.
1. It is not completely clear that south would bid on with as little as ♦ Kxxx or similar
2. Even if partner does not have this holding 6♦ might make
3. 5♥ could also be making and 6♦ a good sacrifice

IMO West has 2 diamond losers for his double, but the east rejected the double wich he wouldn't do with ♦Kx.
I just don't know, go for low to ♦Q it can't be very wrong.
