Match Points



You felt like trying something fancy this time and induce a rounded suit lead to 3NT.

LHO leads ♥5, RHO will play ♥A+♥J

I will duck. If I lose three tricks on the hand I am behind the field, regardless of whether they are in 3NT or 4S. I will hope that lefty led the 5 from KT753 and that righty has AJ tight.

Edit: I suppose it is possible spades are 5-0 with righty, so I might not have 11 tops. In this case 4S makes 4 and 3NT makes whatever it makes when everyone faces the same problem I have after they give up a spade and righty plays A then J of hearts. Nevertheless, I would still duck.

Heh, I didn't even notice I had 3. Then I would duck and stop worrying that there are 14 spades and two aces of hearts in the deck.

I will bid 4♠ and claim +450 early.
