This deal is from life master pairs and shows intelligent bidding by West.
North opened weak no trump, East overcalled which showed
s &
s. South's 3
was Stayman. Now West had a choice bids and he chose 3
to show his suit. He could have supported
instead.North now shows his
suit and soon is playing in 4
.
East was on lead and chose to lead his
King.East could not have found this lead without West's bid of 3
.
EW scored two
and third
was ruffed by East's Jack. Now NS had to lose another
trick and the contract went down.
If
King is not led by East, the contract always scores.
