British Skat Association

It definitely should be bid to hearts hand. Interestingly, Grand seemed a better risk when I looked at the post, than when I dealt the hands out with real cards.

You probably need one more trick, and for the Jacks to split so you can catch a big Diamond. If the Jacks don't split, you need two more tricks. As it stands, with the Jacks splitting and C10 in the Skat, Grand hand makes.

Looking at my null ouvert in Hinterhand, a heart to MH, followed by a lead of S9 would have gotten it off.
