inconvenience the opposition but they have a nasty habit of biting the
perpetrating side.

looks about right to me after the heart opening on your right but what do you
make of that West hand? The possession of three bullets I think just about
merits raising to game but I wouldn’t bet my shirt on it. As the cards lie the
game is an easy make but in isolation the correct way to play the trump suit
would be to play low to the king if no significant card has already appeared.
You won’t need me to tell you why.
