It was towards the end of the evening and the second half of the match had gone dreadfully - I could hardly remember such a awful set, and it had been playing on my mind - unforgiveably. On this board I decided that with my heart void and help from partner - he had to have some good values, 4spade would be in jeopardy, so I doubled. To double in this situation is unusual, so it would alert partner to the fact that I had unexpected defence.

Anyway, partner duly leads a heart - the king. Your methods are king to ask for kount from partner, ace & queen for attitude.

How do you play?
