At the table North bid 2spade, but he might have been better advised to bid 2NT, a balanced positive. The old adage "Don't bid bad suits on good hands" is well founded, although in this case North has the bad suit and South has the good hand!

Despite my reservations about North's first response, North-South reached the best contract. How would you play on a trump lead?
