2♣2♦2N3♠4H6♣

One Heart!

Four Spades makes because the clubs are magic. If the opponents start with AKX of Spades you have to take the club finesse which wins and the spots are such that the 4th club is now high

Good suggestion. What do you bid after partner bids 2H(2 OVER 1 forcing to game)? One possible sequence 1S-2H-2S-3D-3H-3S-???

Holding 1087632♠ A42♥ Void♦ AJ76♣, I passed in first seat and the bidding went as follows: P-P-1H-P-1S-P-1NT-P-3H-P-P-P. Since we play Drury, my question is, should partner have recognized that my hand has 6 bad Spades (a hand not suitable to a 2 Spade opening)? Would most experts assume that the 1 Spade bidder has about 10 pts, 6 bad Spades, and 3 Hearts for his bid? Partner's hand was QJ♠ J10986♥ KJ64♦ K8♣ and 4 Spades makes with 3 Hearts down one.
