By FRANK STEWART Tribune Content Agency U nlucky L o ui e w a s h a v ing a typical day: Nothing had gone right, everything had gone wrong and a lot had happened in between. Louie was way in the hole in his penny game when he held today's East hand and heard South bid four spades. Louie looked at his K-Q-10-9 of spades and side ace and doubled. North redoubled not b ecause he thought 10 tricks would be easy, but because Louie r arely b e ats a ny contract. West, probably feeling like one of Custer's lieutenants, led a diamond. Louie took t h e a ce , r e turned a diamond and sat back to wait for his three trump tricks.
player passes. What do you say? ANSWER: Many experts would condemn a response of 3NT because it's a space-consuming action that may impede slam investigation. Still, I would choose that call because it describes the hand in one bid. After a response of two clubs, you might have a hard time showing your hand a nd e l i citing c o o peration f r o m partner.

CONFIDENT South took the king and noted that Louie looked relaxed and confident. So South took the A- K o f c l u bs, ruffed a club, led a heart to dummy, ruffed a diamond, took two m ore hearts and led dummy's last club at the 10th trick. Louie, down to his four trumps, ruffed with the nine. When he led the king next,dummy played low, and Louie had to concede the last two tricks to the A-J of trumps, Making four! DAILY QUESTION
