Razzamatazz in bidding to slam. Setting up dummy's clubs

Robot partner opened one club and my book response is One spade, but i chose to bid up the line, knowing i could have trouble later, in the expectation and hope of locating a four four heart fit early. When the fit was found, I figured that partner rated to have a lot of cards in clubs and hearts (not a given, but quite likely), and liking my hand, bid six hearts with razzamatazz. Thank heavens, the machine did not raise me to Seven. For once.

LHO led its singleton club, i pull just two rounds of trump, leaving the master Queen out, and play on clubs. Dummy gets set up soon, and all they can take is one trump. A 94% board.

Welcome to Ramesh's BRIDGE BLOG

In these pages, I comment on hands from Bridge Base Online ACBL tourneys. I play in these with a variety of partners with different degrees of skill. I might present a hand or two from my collection of bridge books, every now and then. I am more interested in play and defense than in complex bidding systems, but I do follow the cut and thrust of Vanderbilt and World Championship Vugraph and try to keep abreast of expert practice in the obstructive and constructive bidding system department. I may also feature, newspaper-style, famous hands from important matches that I saw on Vugraph.

NOTE: For JUNE, I am experimenting with adding BBO's Handviewers, which make bridge movies embedded. Just
scroll down beyond the few sampled book covers and you arrive at the blogs that play themselves with the NEXT button. THANKS, BBO!!
