6 Spades Redoubled
6 Spades Redoubled....

I am North and decide to open this poor hand 1♠ (nothing outrageous here), opps overcall 2♣ (not un-reasonable), partner raises me to 6♠ !!!!  Opps double, I gulp inwardly regretting opening this terrible hand and then partner redoubles!!!!

It is fair to say, I was quite pleased to see the higher ♠s in partner's hand but am still confident of 1 off - I win the first ♣ in hand and then play a small ♠ expecting to find the 3-0 break off-side, no - they both follow!  Q♠ must be a doubleton.  First hurdle dealt with.  Now, I have a losing ♥ and a losing ♦, what to do?  I take my ♥'s and leave W with a winning ♥ on lead, what can she do other than give me the ruff and discard I need, give me a ♥ or give me a ♦ - she played a low ♦, I duck and win in dummy, K♦ now trapped, 12 made - 2070 scored!!!
