Final Comments
In 3NT we count our winners.
4 spades
1 heart
1 diamond
3 clubs
That makes 9 tricks which makes our contract.
As the cards lie, we also make the QD, for an overtrick.
Planning
We should always be asking ourselve
1. do we have a fit, and
2. do we have enough for game.
In this hand, there is no fit, but we do have enough
points for game. 3NT should be doable.
