I think 2 of the robots pulled a wrong card, LOL

Hmmm, based on the auction, I'm actually east. 6♦

edit: north dealer, fail 2/1: 1♣ - 1♠ 1NT - 2♦ (checkback GF) 2♥ - 3♣ 3NT - 4NT 6NT Molybdenum P - 1♠ 2♥ - 2♠ 2NT - 3♣ 3♦ - 4♦ 4NT - 6NT P = Opening hand 1♠ = Artificial GF 2♥ through 3♣ natural 3♦ shows a club fit 4♦ = KC clubs 4NT = 2 w/o queen 6NT = Blast Same results :P

Who the heck bid 2♣ the second round

Yep, heart lead here too. Too bad that's not in the poll.

You should probably alert it as could have 5.

Well, I suppose :P It still should take the 68% line of simply leading a trump though, shouldn't it? Also the play of the ♥65 from west suggests east has the 3, and since it leads 4th best (it led the 7), east should always have 5. Oh yeah, and even if east had 4, he's marked with the king. Why ruff?

Oh yeah, forgot to put 2♦ in the poll.. darn it.

East leads a heart and north wins the queen, ducking the ace from dummy. It then ducks a spade, wins the heart return in dummy with the ace, ruffs a spade. Here are the remaining cards: [hv=pc=n&s=shdakq864cat&w=sq3hdj3cq876&n=shjtd7ckj542&e=shk93d952c93]399|300[/hv] North then leads the jack of hearts! East ducks and dummy ruffs low!!!

[hv=pc=n&s=sahdacak&w=sq96h865dq94cqt32&n=sk32hkjt74djt8c96&e=sj8haq932dk75cj87]399|300[/hv] The bidding went, nonvulnerable against vulnerable with north dealer: P - P - 1♠ - P 2♠ - P - 3♦ - P 4♠ - AP I'm south. 3 diamonds was a suit try, and since I was playing with GIB, they leaped to game. The lead was the 5 of hearts. I played the jack from dummy, covered by the queen and ruffed. I counted my tricks, even though that's generally a notrump thing, finding 4 spades, 2 clubs, and a diamond. I could attempt to ruff 2 clubs in dummy before drawing trumps and establish a heart, but it was likely I would be overruffed or uppercutted on the 4th club. There were also the diamonds to think about. I played 2 rounds of trumps, ending in dummy. I then led the king of hearts, overtaken by the ace and ruffed in my hands. I played 2 rounds of clubs and ruffed a club, then I led the good heart from dummy and discarded a club. I then led the jack of diamonds from dummy, east and I ducked and west won the queen. I've got 8 tricks in the bank and need two more. Here is the 4 card ending, with west on lead: [hv=pc=n&s=sthda63c&w=sqhd94cq&n=sh74dt8c&e=sh93dk7c]399|300[/hv] Even if west cashes his two queens, he's endplayed on the diamonds, having to lead away from his 9, as long as I discard 2 hearts from dummy. It doesn't matter what east discards- even if he discards the king I still take 10 tricks. Unfortunately, on the queen of clubs, I discarded a diamond from dummy, and west led a low diamond. I played dummy's 10 and east played low (since he discarded the king :P) and I couldn't overtake with the ace without the 9 of diamonds taking the last trick. Oh well.

Partner probably has a flattish yargsborough... Also we got the wrong half of the deck to double. 2♦, p

[hv=pc=n&s=st976542ha8632dkc&d=n&v=b&b=13&a=1sp]133|200[/hv]

Pretty close but I pass convincingly.

Opponents have 10 ♠s, meaning RHO has 4 unless LHO pre-empted on a 7 card suit. If he had a weak hand, wouldn't he bid 4♠?

What?

:wacko: :blink: ........ yeah it does that sometimes...

4♠ but it is close

1. Weak 2 in spades, but this was posted here so it's probably strong balanced 22-23 or weak two in hearts 2. 2NT 3. Whenever he has 3+ diamonds.

They'll NEVER find the spade lead!!!! ... oh wait.

updated now

What! That exists!?

What the heck is this thread This is natural bidding discussion, bid a natural 2NT and stop confusing us with this mumbo jumbo.

The only digits of pi I know are 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582 23172535940812848111... I'm sure that people here know more. sorry broke the format, fixed

12- = 12 or fewer.

I'd call the director.
