- We were playing K-S, and our auction was not a success:
-
- N S
- 1S 2D
- 2S 3H
- 4D 4NT
- 5H 6D
-
- Obviously, I shouldn't have bid 4NT as South; how should the bidding
- go, given that we weren't playing kickback?
-
- (The 6D contract did make; West led a club to East's ace, East returned
- a club, and all three hearts went away when spades broke 4-3.)
