I'm going to look at Justin's answers now, prepared to slap myself on the forehead: "Why didn't I think of that?" :)

ok, here's what ewen says... hope you enjoyed :)

K... you want to try to play a forcing game with 4 trumps

2}

S..........W..........N..........E
1H..........P.........2C.........P
3C..........P.........3H.........P
4H

3... partner has one at most and is probably void.. you have a quick trump entry, so suit pref for a diamond

3}

N...........E..........S..........W
--...........--........1C..........P
1D.........P.........1H..........P
3H.........P..........4H

5... you can stop declarer's trump drawing because of the ace... so hope for an entry in pard's hand and one, or two, ruffs

4}

S..........W..........N..........E
1S.........P..........3S........P
4S

7... this one is tough, but he says that with even one entry in pard's hand you can set this... your 2 aces, a ruff, pard's trick... so even with 4 trumps this time, try for the ruff

5}

N..........E..........S..........W
---.......1NT.......2H (natural) all pass

5... try to cut down declarer's most likely source of tricks - ruffs

6}

N..........E..........S..........W
1D........P..........1H.........P
3D........P..........3H..........P
4H.... all pass

3... because of dummy's long, probably strong, diamonds (based on yours), try to attack before declarer's losers disappear

7}

S..........W..........N..........E
--.........--..........1C.........P
1H........P...........2H.........P
2NT.......P..........3H........P
4H

6 (or 8 if you're me :))... they don't look very confident, go passive and try not to help them

8}

S..........W..........N..........E
1S.........P..........1NT.........P
2H.......P...........3H........P
4H all pass

K... dummy is short in spades, you can take 3 of his trumps out and *maybe* make a spade trick or two of your own

9}

S..........W...........N..........E
1H.........P...........2D.........P
2H.........P............3H all pass

4 (or 2, if you're me :))... trumps look to split badly, so partner might like a forcing game

10}

S..........W..........N..........E
1H...... all pass

4... partner would usually balance here, so he might have some hearts of his own... try to keep declarer from using any of dummy's trumps for ruffs
