You pick up pretty much your usual collection of rubbish and see the following:
The bidding goes:
The question is how many tricks do you expect to take with this rotten hand? Since you will never guess it right I will let you know - it was five! Now I will ask you a more difficult question. Which five cards took a trick? I'll give you some help by showing you the full deal:
Don't ask me why North bid 2©. Maybe she had been holding hands like mine for the rest of the day. The opening lead was the king of clubs and declarer took the ace at once, West giving count with the six. She exited with the §J and this time West gave a suit preference signal with the §9. East switched to a spade and declarer won with dummy's ace and played the ©6, electing to play low from hand when West produced the ©7. Trick number one. Trick number two. Trick number 3. Tricks number 4 & 5. |
