skjaeran Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 [hv=d=n&v=n&n=sa8xht8xdakt8xc8x&s=s97xxhak6dxckt7xx]133|200|Scoring: IMPN S1♦ 1♠2♠ 2NT3♥ 3NT[/hv]2NT was asking; 3♥ showed a balanced 3-card raise. West lead ♣2 (3rd/5th) to Q and K. I returned a club, west winning with the 9 and east following low. West thus marked with AJ92 originally. West then swithced to the ♥2 (3rd/5th). Opponents use no attitude leads or encouraging/discouraging signals. They can relied upon to show true count 99% of the time - the lead on this hand is one of the few positions where they'll "lie". (They'll follow with a low card from Jx, part of the time from Tx and almost always from 9x - just to give you a picture.) How do you play to win the contract?(There's no way for opps to beat you anymore.) I'll most probably be offline the coming week, moving into a new appartment. I'll probably not give the full hand for some days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted December 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Wow..you do not miss many NV games do you. :D With a total of 22 hcp and two 5-card suits? Some, but not too many. :PWe were 20 IMPs down at half time but had possibly picked up those when this hand came up. But you never know what kind of card teammates will have. Opps bid the game at the ohter table btw (but went -3). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I count 21 hcp not 22 but maybe you are upgrading to 26 or so based on nonfits :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
