( asks )?? 3NT ( ♦ shortness ) 4C ( ♣ shortness; "bad" hand [ no other feature ] ) 4D ( ♣ shortness & Diam Ctrl ) 4H ( ♣ shortness & at least a 2nd ♥ card of top 3; NO ♦ Ctrl ) 4S ( ♣ shortness, 2nd ♥ card, and ♦ Ctrl ) After:4H ( now showing ♥Q in addition to K )..... - 7S ( counting 5s, 4h, 2d, 1c and ♦-ruff in South hand if North had 3 cards -- South pitches ♦ loser on ♥ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
