Although most readers would not be in this position, I suspect that they would not even consider 3heart now! Why not - what's a few hundred between friends? As you can imagine, West was keen to have a piece of this and all passed.

By now, dearest reader, you have realised that you are not going to be let off, and when East leads a technically correct trump, how do you play?
