Dbt. (?) ANSWER: Your correct bid is five hearts. True, you have two Aces and your partner has opened the bidding. Accordingly, you should expect nar- mally to set the five-diamond, can- tract, But Mr. Schenken undoubtedly has a very strong two-sulter. Further. more, in spite of the fact that you doubled, clubs, your partner could not double diamonds. Hence, the best you can hope for is to set the five- diamond contract one trick. Finally, with this hand there is no real reason why five hearts cannot be made.

Score 100% for five Reafts, 90% for double 0 for any other big?
