Never a man to be guilty of conservatism."Wild Bill" wheeled out a very dubious 4NT, intending it as Blackwood. Despite his wife showing no aces, he had no hesitation in raising her to 6club, but I wonder at what point during the bidding did Bill realise that his wife might become declarer?

So, imagine you're Annie as South. You win West's opening lead of heartK with the ace and draw a round of trumps. How would you play 6club when West, not entirely unexpectedly, shows out?
