Final Comments
In 4 hearts, we count the losers
0 spades
1 heart
2 diamonds
1 club
4 losers means we are down 1,
After 2 rounds of trumps, we can play the spades to drop off a losing diamond on the 3rd spade,making the 10th trick for our contract.
Planning
Jacoby 2NT is a bid that say I have 4 cards in your opening bid suit, and an opening hand.
