Yet again...Obviously 7 is not to be tried with the full bidding here...

I guess you may have got better responses had you posted just the West hand, and the bidding as (p)-p-(p)-2♣-(p)-2♦-(2♠), though it seemed obvious enough what you were asking :blink:

How do you go about finding 7?


Well without opponents' interference I could bid

1♣ = 15+ nat/bal or 18+ any
... - 1♦ = 0-8 (almost) any
1♠ = 18+ 3-suited or any unbal GF
... - 2♣ = double negative
3♦ = diamonds are trumps, GF
... - 3♥ = total bust
4♣ = asks about a club control (singleton)
... - 5♦ = no
6♦

Of course that is another Wonderland. Once the opps compete to 4/5♠ quickly it seems better just to take the plus in 6. Note that even having a specific king asking bid available is not the full solution here since a singleton with 2 trumps would be enough. Out of interest, why did South not open and why did East pass?

Most likely my partner chose to assume I had a 20-23 hcp hand that could not be supported to game alone. Usually is the case, but any 2C opener can be self supporting to game or in this case, higher. I was just happy to bid the hand to the appropriate level even though I was excited to even see such an amazing hand. To this point the best hand I have held outside of Goulash has been 2 balanced 27 hcp hands.

Would of actually been more amusing if partner answered 2D and I became dummy...Made me wish I had this hand on a live bridge day just to lay those cards down on the table...lol

Just as important, North should know to throw hearts, even if he is blind to his partner's discards.

Why? How would the play differ if declarer had a small ♥ rather than ♣J? Isn't it rather important to see 3 ♥ discards from partner before having to make a decision on the final ♦?
