What now buttercup?
Today you hold
752 AK53 J1054 76
Your side is vul, they are not. Partner opens 1 heart in first chair. Your RHO says 1 spade. You say 2NT, which happens to show a four card raise.
LHO jumps all the way to 5 clubs, and your vulnerable partner (me) chimes in with 5 hearts. Your RHO now says 5 spades, and everyone all of a sudden ran out of breath, and that became the final contract. You lead the King of hearts, and this is what you see:

Your heart king wins the first trick, partner playing the queen, while declarer plays the 4. Now what should you do?
Another heart? Hmm, I doubt that will cash.
A diamond, tapping dummy? Hmm, do you think partner forgot to double 5S with the Aces of spades and diamonds?
A trump? If declarer is void of clubs he will not be able to draw trumps and run the clubs. By playing a trump now, you will beat this contract a trick.
A club? Now you’re talking !!
If declarer has a stiff club, what can he do? He will be forced to abandon clubs before trumps are drawn, and he will go down.

Is it reasonable to exit a club, rather than a trump, at trick 2? I think so – would partner really bid 5 hearts vulnerable if he held two small clubs?
Sucks for East to play his cold 6C in 5S down 1!

I am 26 weeks along with my first and I started buying things gradually right off even though you are not supposed to until after the first trimester. Some people do not start buying until they find out the sex, but that did not stop me. haha. Preparing for the babe has helped me stay busy while my husband has been away. (he is deployed.)I went to yard sales and bought my big stuff there so it was cheaper. Craigslist.com has a lot of really good stuff as well.Good luck and Congratulations!
