Go with your gut feeling.
Leo Weniger (North) who is the ACBL district director for District 1 played very well the following deal.
Board 16. Dealer West. E-W Vul.
This was the auction:
1NT-14-16. 2♣ – Diamonds and a shorter major.
The lead was the three of diamonds, five, ace and nine. West played the two of diamonds back, Leo ruffed it with the three of spades, seven and ten from dummy. Trick 3 Leo cashed the spade ace, west dropped the jack, four and two.
After he played the two good spades from dummy, Leo made the key play, low heart to the nine when west followed with the two.
He drew the out standing trump. Now he had 10 major suit tricks for +420.

At the other table, with a different auction Declarer was in four hearts, played hearts to break 3-2 and went down one. We won 10 Imps on the board.

As is often the case, bidding showing shape is bad when you don’t buy the contract. Leo wasn’t following his “gut”, he was going with the 3-2 odds that the stiff heart was an x, and not J or T. Still, I AGREE, well done
Barry, missed you here. Hope you getting better.
Gut as to food…..Guess you didn’t see photos of the buffet table 🙂
