ok for East to open , but then a pass over 1♠ is obligatory with this bad hand Edouard

On the actual layout, if he rises with the ace and clears spades, you will take your four club tricks. another point if clubs were not dividing 3-3 : ♠lead to the K ♥East takes his Ace and clears the ♠, partner should throw away the♦K then you can not avoid East to get a ♦trick Edouard

Maybe have a look at this (again). I wrote that yesterday, so forget about J10 or J10x hearts. Roland how about J108 then ? <_< ok this is a small percentage! Edouard

i guess that 7NT is clearly a better contract first because they are so many possibilities : Spades ok or ♥J10 short, or any squeeze but also because you cannot go down before trick 12 ! players never like to go down on first trick <_< and sometimes defense isnot so perfect (depends were is dummy?) and gives you a clue also on some distribution you may find that you have to take a 2nd round finesse in ♥ let say you know North has 6♠ and 5♦ and 1♣ and play the ♥10 :P something else : why do everyone wants ti ruff a ♥ in dummy? a club ruff seems better to me not because clubs divide 43 more often than hearts but because you may see the Queen fall on first or second round of club ! a -not so low- improvment Edouard , new in the forum

3♥ shows in my system 66 majors wih better ♥ and a club void :) :lol:
