Get the monthly magazine

Even if you never play in a duplicate and have zero master points, it would be a good idea to join the American Contract Bridge League (acbl.org). The reason is to receive the monthly magazine (to which I am a contributor). It has instructional articles for all levels of player and news about the world of bridge.

The diagramed deal was in the Challenge of the Month feature. How should South plan the play in five clubs after West has shown at least 5-5 in the majors and leads the heart king?

West made a Michaels Cue-Bid. This is a good convention because it allows the user to describe his hand in one call. This is a bad convention because if the opponents buy the contract, it has given the declarer a road map of the deal - as in this case.
