was pleasantly surprised to hear my partner open the bidding While I was deciding on how many no trump to bid I was jolted back to reality by East With only one stopper in spades was reluctant to bid no trump The next best bid was lo show my four card suit When North supported this bid he reversed the bidding The natural order with two adjacent suits is to bid the higher suit first When you reverse the sequence you should have a stronger hand Well after checking on aces just in case bid a lay down slam well almost I don know West to lead a club dummy s suit Instead or a spade pari ner
