Peter and his partner, Alex Hogg, play an aggressive version of the carrot club - a system which proved well suited for competing effectively in part-score deals. A part score was not the subject of this deal ..

North opens a carrot club (any 17+ or 10-12 bal), South bids a spade (4+ suit, 7+pts) and North relays showing 17+pts with an interest in South's distribution. South repeated the spades rather than showing hearts and North bid 4. Thinking that North probably had a minimum with four hearts South punted 6, corrected to 6. As you can see, 6 is not the best slam ever reached, but not to worry, the opponents are always available to lend a helping hand. How do you play when West leads a trump and 10 holds?
