In an expert team game, our auction begins 2:cl: [P] 2:dm: [P] 2NT
I'm facing temptation with
:sp: Q5
:ht: K54
:dm: QJT96
:cl: T65
We probably only have 30-31hcp, but for all you know you could have enough for slam with working diamonds and good luck. I delay the decision with 4:cl: gerber.
All of the sudden LHO doubles. That's good; hopefully slam isn't there. Better yet, partner follows up with a redouble, presumably showing clubs.
:sp: AK72
:ht: AQ
:dm: AK3
:cl: QJ93
We lose three trump tricks for +720 and 6 IMPs. 3NT at the other table scored 460.
