{If North opens 3\H, East has an easy 3NT, and should make it.

If North opens 4\H, EW may have a difficult problem. East wants to make a
penalty double, but many partnerships play a double of 4\H as takeout-oriented.
On this deal, if East doubles, West may take it out, converting a plus score to
a minus. Perhaps East should pass 4\H, accepting a small plus score.

If North opens 1\H, East will double and later bid notrumps, then West should
raise to game.}

If South opens 1\C, it's harder for EW. Have you discussed how West shows this
hand after passing over 1\C?

If NS play in 3\D, they will probably make it, though there is a double-dummy
defence to beat it. If EW compete to 4\C, it takes a spade ruff to beat it.}

{EW may reach a thin 4\S, especially if North overcalls 3\D. In 4\S, declarer
should time the play so that they can lead up to \HK, cash one trump, ruff a
heart in dummy, and then finesse in trumps, applying the <b>Principle of
Restricted Choice</b>.

If NS save in 5\D, on this deal that gains a few IMPs, but it's probably better
to defend and hope to beat 4\S.}

{NS will probably make 4\S.

If the defence lead clubs, declarer gets a club ruff then just loses one
diamond (or one heart). 

If the defence play ace and another lead trump, declarer gives up a heart,
throws the club losers on the hearts, and then does one of these:\n
- Sets up the hearts (notice the heart small cards)\n
- Plays diamonds, to only lose one trick, and make three tricks.

The best defence is to lead a trump and duck it. Now declarer might play a
second trump. If East wins and plays a club to the queen, declarer can duck
that, and get the club ruff. Another possible plan is for declarer to give up a
heart at trick two; after that, declarer may or may not make. }
