Which partner gets to play the bridge hand after they win the bidding?
Jobar
The partner who plays (The Declarer) is the one who first mentioned the suit that ends up as the trump suit.
Example: South bids 1 Club. North, his partner, responds by bidding 1 Heart.
If the final, winning bid is in Clubs, South will play because South was the first one to mention Clubs. North will be the Dummy.
If the final, winning bid is in Hearts, North will play and South will be the Dummy.
If the final, winning bid is in No Trump, Diamonds or Clubs, whichever partner mentioned it first is the one who plays.

If dealt a yarborough hand in bridge do you play or throw in the hand?
Unfortunately, the yarborough hand must be played. Even though you have no card higher than a nine, there is nothing in the Laws of Bridge that allows you to throw in your hand. Rather, the rare occurrence of a yarborough hand is an opportunity for a side bet, of which the traditional odds are 1000 to one. However, since you have no high cards, there is a good chance that your partner has a good hand. Do whatever you can to support your partner.
What are the trump suits in bridge?
The trump suit for a particular deal at bridge is determined by bidding. The last suit named before three consecutive passes (or no bids) is the trump suit. If the last bid was some level of No Trump, the deal is played without a trump suit. The level plus the last-named suit (trump suit), or No Trump, is called the contract. The partnership winning the contract is the declaring partnership, and the partner who first bid the last-bid suit is called the declarer. Declarer's partner is called the dummy (who has no role in the play of the hand).
