1 - 2 (GF)
3 - 3
3 - 3
4 - 4NT
5 - 5
All Pass


You probably don't like the bidding. I personally hated it as I had to play in this awful contract. I opened one spade 11-16. Partner bid a GF 2 and I showed 5-5 in the blacks any range (11-16). Partner thought 3 was natural and I thought it was FSF. Anyways, the bidding pretty much stunk. But make up for it on the play. Small diamond is lead. Good luck!

This is a difficult one. you have to play and see what is going on. My plan is to play HK, then cashing my heart trick and prepare to crossruff.

Yes. It is a difficult contract as you have 2 fairly sure losers (A and a spade). Although it is not without its chances. You are grateful you didn't get a trump lead and continuation (after losing A) as although that will give up a trump for the defense it would have left you well short of your contract.

The crossruff is one way to play it, but I think you can combine some chances.
