Might I suggest 2club followed by a raise to 4heart over 2heart and 4spade over anything else? Even so, looking at the two hands it's not immediately clear whether you want to be in 4spade or 4heart, but for the purposes of this article - it's crucial. Perhaps you play the cards better than I do (not difficult) and would prefer be in 6heart, but let's say that you are content with a mere 4heart played from the West hand. North leads clubQ and continues with another after South encourages with the eight. Please have your exact line of play in mind before you click the Next button. No cheating!
