When playing at pairs it is not a good policy to have a strategy of consistently overbidding, but on individual hands there are exceptions where overbidding can pay off handsomely. This particular West decided that heartQ had become a very good card and duly punted 4spade, which was passed out. Crossing the table to the East side, how would you play 4spade on the lead of heartJ?
