COUNTING ON YOUR FINGERS
TEAMS.
DEALER SOUTH, ALL VUL.
Here’s the balanced 18-count that you received as South:
♠ A97
♥ K3
♦ AK65
♣ A542
It has no intermediates but only “top cards” (three Aces and two Kings). You open 1♦ and when North responds 1♥, you rebid 2NT. You then deny three-card support in Hearts by bidding 3NT over 3♣, and see the bidding tray come back with a 4♦ bid by partner.
