It would have been a lot easier if South had an opening bid that showed his hand shape.

Hi Bobby,

I’ve got to say that I’d have cashed 1 top heart at T2 (playing teams anyway) and then played a spade but it goes back to your recommended column line. At pairs I’m going for a fortune unless doubled – cash HAK, knock out the spade but then the roof caves in. Silly game (see also BAM which is 2 table pairs effectively) but any 3-2 break and just bashing down top trumps works.

Regards,

Iain
