What contract would you like to be in at pairs? Easy, you say - 6heart! Indeed. 6heart has an approximate 75% chance of success - plenty of reason to be bidding it and racking up a good match-point haul.

Step forward our heroes, ladies world champion Jill Meyers and partner Steve Garner. They reached 6club, better than mere game but potentially an inferior score to 6heart. Though what would you think if I told you that the opening lead was heart3?
