"Six-five, come alive!" is an old bridge saying. Essentially, it demonstrates the power of distribution. Thus, even if you don't have full strength high card points, you should bid a bit more when you have six-five (or more) distribution.
Today, John Koch graces us with a hand where declarer did indeed have six-five distribution - and where he did "come alive" in the auction.
Of course, bidding to a contract is only part of the plan! Once you get there, you have to bring your contract home. Can you get home alive on this hand? Please see below; John shows us the way.
