This is a hand from the recent Bothell Memorial day sectional. This is a hand from the BAM (board-a-match) teams event.
Partner leads AK of club and club to your Q (declarer following). What do you do now?
If partner has DA or a heart trick, we need to shift to a spade now.
What if partner does not have the DA or a heart trick? Since this is BAM, overtricks are important.
If you shift to a low spade and declarer has Jx of spades, you will get squeezed in the pointed suits for declarers 10th trick!
To cater to that, you must shift to the SQ.
