Jacoby on Bridge North Opens at Five Diamonds
In the East West vulnerable hand sequence, West passes to give East the opportunity to overcall. The bidding reaches 4 Diamonds after several passes, with South making the final pass. The opening lead is the King as the declarer plans the play.

South has a strong spade suit and a flexible plan but faces a tough choice after North jumps to three spades. The key is recognizing the value shift when South holds the fourth hand and the potential to ruff hearts. The recommended line is to pass, respecting partner’s judgment and the chance to reach seven.
