Finch Posted April 4, 2006 Report Share Posted April 4, 2006 This was quite a funny hand from a match last night. Declarer was a team-mate who wishes to remain nameless. He says it's the first time he's played AJxx opposite 9xx for 3 losers and no tricks.

That's 3NT the other way, isn't it?(declarer can make by winning the second diamond, cashing the spades and the other top heart then exiting in diamonds for a club away from the king) p.s. we won the match in spite of this board!
