If partner hesitated then I like a X.

 

However, that would be considered unethical. To appear ethical you have to play that you pass quickly with good hands, and slowly with bad hands. That way you seem like you are using active ethics when you X after a quick pass, and also when you pass after a slow pass.

I guess its obvious to Pass..

 

Anyway indeed it was passed out..

 

The full hands are as follows:

[hv=d=w&v=n&n=sh842da632cajt876&w=sakqjt832h53dkt9c&e=s764haj96d54cq543&s=s95hkqt7dqj87ck92]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv]

EW has a cold 4,

However NS has 5 on a gd guess in , or will be a gd sac against 4

 

Any comments or 4 here just a normal contract :P

Life sucks then you die.

 

It would not occur to me that the South hand is an optimal dummy for a sac over 4.

 

Congratulate your opponent on a well timed heavy 4 call.

This deal isn't entirely without interest.

 

Suppose that NS reach 5. Declarer ruffs the opening spade lead and, not having second sight, cashes A.

 

It looks like he's one down now, but he's not: heart to the 7; spade ruff; heart to the 10; knock out A; win the return; cash two diamonds and one heart, taking a club finesse when in the North hand; exit with a diamond in this position:

 

[hv=n=shd2c108&w=sqjhd10c&e=s4hdcq5&s=shd87ck]399|300|[/hv]

 

It would be nice not to have to finesse 7, but I can't see a way to get the timing right without this finesse.

I double, too easy to miss a cold 5 and lose a double game swing by passing.

Gee, you are good!

 

This is hilarious.
