North made an aggressive move toward game, his partner knew he would
have bid game with almost any 14 hcp's hand and since the balanced
14-16 hcps hands are opened with 1N in the bidding system they were
playing South can't expect much more than a 12-13 hcps hand with a
side singleton. Still, he has obviously working values and four card
sup****t. That suffices to investigate a seemingly unlikely game.

What would you have bid with North's hand? ( S:A865 H:QJ982 D:KQ3 C:
2 )
What would you have bid with South's hand? ( S:JT H:KT63 D:A72 C:9764)
Well, just for the record it went:

West  North  East  South
 ------     1H      p       2H
   p       2S!     p       2N!
   p       3C!     p       4H
All pass

2S! =3D any singleton or void
2N! =3D asking about the location of that singleton or void
3C! =3D club singleton or void

West's hand was: S:Q23  H:A5  D:T865  C.AQ83
East's hand was: S:K974 H:74  D: J94 C:KJT5
10 easy tricks were made!
At the other table it went:
1H =96 p - 3D (inverted 'Bergen raises') =96 p =96 3H All pass.

Good hand evaluation by you all, however there are still a few pagans
out there:-)
Thank you all
