An interesting hand from Wednesday evening which is a good example of using 5CM

The normal opening for N with ACOL would be 1♣ but using 5CM you should open 1♥ 

South then immeadiately knows of the ♥ fit so the bidding can proceed to 4♥ 

However an overcall by East of 3♦ would allow west to bid a good sacrifice of  5♦  which should have been doubled

Well done to those East West's who found the 5♦ (undoubled contract)

Also note that the 'Law of Total tricks' gives 19 Total Tricks.

From the 11 card fit E/W & 8 card fit N/S while the LTC gives 11 tricks to N/S and 8 tricks to E/W
