Thanks for the thoughts. By the rule of 11 North can hold only one card higher than the 5. West knows that. It is odds on East led from a five card suit, so I believe the Jack is the correct card to play. The 9 is better than the 6 for sure, but I think East will be unsure of the situation. The Jack will always yield 5 tricks for the defence irrespective of what North chooses to do. Jetstar

Hi I would appreciate your thoughts! North opens 1NT[12-14]which is the final contract; East leads 5 of spades[4th highest]. Dummy has only the 7 singleton. West has KJ96. King played, which holds. West then played the 6 giving East a headache[East held AT854] Thoughts much appreciated. Thanks. Jetstar

I opened 1D too but was berated by my partner, who would have preferred 1S. In the event The bidding[with no interference] 1D-1H-1S-2C*-? At this point I was feeling apprehensive about my opening, and wanted to convey weakness asap. So instead of continuing with 2S[which I felt pushed partner to another level with my weak hand], I chickened out and bid 2Ds[With another honour in Ds I would have happily bid 2S. P then bid 2H which I passed! It made, but 3S was bid and made!10 tricks in spades made at one table! We scored a below average board. Ps Hand: J65 A98743 Q5 AT

Would you open with this[ NV ] and with what? KQ872 - AT8764 75 Views very much appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you. Hopefully you will reconsider! Look forward to the RobotRace feedback when it happens. Jetstar

One of the most valuable tools on BBO is the facility to appraise hands after playing. You cannot do this with "money tournaments! What is the reasoning behind this? Thanks Jetstar
