Hi Maureen,

As an intermediate BIL player this looks like a♥n evil hand!

Playing ACOL (or SAYC I suppose),


N E S W
n/a n/a 1H 2C
2S(5+) P 3H P
3S(6+) P 4H P
P P P P

I'm sure it could go completely differently as well!

N E S W
3 ♠ 2♠(club ask) T♠ A♠
2♣ 3♥ 3♣ J♣
6♠ 4♠ T♥ J♥


and we're down ! as AH is good for opps...

Over to the experts...

Another possibility is

S W N E
1H 2NT 3S 5D
P P X

Which has interesting play, given that S, on lead, can't lead a trump. Not that I agree with the unusual 2NT bid, but I know plenty who would bid it

It's an ugly hand. Most will be in 4 of a major. Which doesn't have any play.
Sometimes these wild hands happen, but not often enough to start worrying about it.

This hand is eeevvviiilll.....I'm cringing -- wonder what par would be in an expert field?

If I were bidding on the 4 sits the hand would be:

1♥-2♣-2♠-ps
3♥-ps-4♥-ps
ps-ps

Maybe west can pass instead of bid 2♣ (too poor hand?)

Or north autoplay in his ♠ suit because it is a very good one.

The play doesn´t matter much, looks like many downs.
