I was too embarrassed to reply that I found this hand too difficult, but I will suck it up and say so now. I am tempted to finesse spades in both directions, but I guess we're told that they're weak so that's unnecessary

the true lesson of this thread: clickbait titles generate views

Maybe that's how bad it is!! I can't believe it's still better than a diamond bleh

Yeah, partner had A AKJTxxxxx AKQ -- and hearts broke

casual game (p) 7H (7S) ? x 9 xxxx AKQJT9x

We really need a way to upvote admins Diana!

Thanks for all the threads mgoetze!

i would just pass

:(

did i make it?

i actually play that :(

Here is a natural escape sequence that I play in my partnerships. 2C = 5+ clubs, to play 2D = 5+ diamonds, to play 2H = 5+ hearts, to play 2S = 5+ spades, to play pass = to play redouble = to play The 3 level follows the same pattern as the 2 level.

take a bunch of winning finesses and then ruff

Because it led to a bad result sorry was that meant to be rhetorical oh god now i've ruined everything

I wouldn't want to start a flame war about who said who was a novice, and who never made that claim.

Is now a good time to point out that this doesn't belong in the N/B forum?

I'm insulted.

When he gets more advanced, I'll teach him the proper way to flame others

By the way keithhus, you are very courteous, but there is no need to quote every individual response and to thank everybody one at a time :)

try it in bigger font. it's really quite satisfying

not pass

4♥ i just wanted to see how that felt

double!

So you're saying playing Flannery has an effect even if you don't open it? Interesting...
