With your points so concentrated in the minors it might seem right to jump to in clubs - but would this bidding do this hand justice? At the table South decided to force with a bid of 2spade and now North had a problem. He solved it with a pass-the-buck 3spade, good enough to encourage a journey but unsure of the destination. Eventually this led a final contract of 5diamond and West led ace and queen of spades, won by East's king. How would you play on a club switch from East?
