* not a bid for today!

South plays in 4spade after you have overcalled with a slightly dubious 2club. These days North's 2diamond would have been replaced by a negative double, but the play is the thing on this deal. Playing MUD (middle, up, down) you lead heart6 and declarer wins in dummy with the ace, partner following with the three (shape) and declarer the eight. Declarer's next move is to play diamond2 to the seven, queen and your ace.
