Hand of the Week - Glenna and Vic - July 20, 2020

Problem:  We couldn’t find a fit and ended up in NT. Big problem was transportation.

Vic: 

With an experienced pair doing the bidding the auction might go:

N          E          S          W

1D          P         1H          P

3C           P          3H          P

4H            P           P            P

It deserves to make 4H with a spade lead. A trump lead by the opponents can hold it to 2H.

Played at several different tables, I would expect various other versions of the auction. Other pairs might be in hearts at a lower level.

At any rate, the fit is obviously in hearts & most pairs should find it.  No trump is a nightmare .

Glenna:

You simply rebid ♥️ at every turn and when partner realizes you have 6 or more, raises ♥️ to game level. The person with 7 ♥️ never lets partner play 3NT.
