i would've returned a diamond without any of the thought process

oops I keep missing these

2N on the actual hand seems fine to me

I believe a long time ago, there was a thread about reopening (albeit at the 1 level) where you have Kx in their suit and otherwise fine shape, and Fred thought it was very bad to reopen. This is based on some hazy memory, so if I got it wrong, please don't sue me.

Never played against methods like these, so I'm passing and blaming them for fixing me

Any diamond interference?

Long clubs or 6-6 majors, two way? :)

I would like to point out how fun it was to play with all of you, and thanks again to Diana for hosting these

To be honest, I was just stupidly optimistic and thought "gee maybe I can make it if the double was insane!" and didn't stop to consider that i could get -1 out of the ending

I'm the best!

No you're not!

aw man i missed that little trump coup in 5Cx edit: for -1

wrong again

I would let the heart hold and cross in clubs. If east had a club void, I imagine he would (under)lead a diamond. If west has a club void, that means he's got a 4 card major, which GIB tells us is impossible :P

I feel sorry for any pair that skips me in a pair game. They should probably be awarded 65% of 3 boards.

Oh yeah, can we get a new thread if this is happening again next Sunday?

wat

hahaha

I'm glad PhilKing's database matches my intuition. I feel like I've gotten tons of bad results doubling on hands like these at the 2 level.

Sorry I missed this

So there is going to be one on June 22nd? Same time?

I am glad this thread exists. I wish to admire the linked thread, but I don't want to pollute it with my usual crap posting

How close is the N hand to passing 4Sx? xx instead of xxx in spades?

man i feel old. would pass.

I will never reach grand, and what is the plan for 13 tricks anyway? Ruff two clubs then hook the spade? Maybe we can check for JT dub of diamonds beforehand... it feels tricky I would suggest a sequence, but I don't really know what I would do and I'd probably embarrass myself by winding up in game very often. I don't have a club splinter after they overcall 1S, so it's going to get murky.
