Can anyone beat this? Pard opened 2H so we were in 7NT pretty quickly. One table went (2D weak) 2H (3D) 7NT, and another table played in 6♠![/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 In a robot tourney I had something like A -- AKxxxx AKQJTx opened 7♣ -- partner had four! clubs and ♦Qxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Yes, but in a midnight game when our team arrived late and teenage friends-opponents were already there. Strangely, 7NT XX went down several. :angry: LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I posted in another thread two hands I had recently: [hv=d=e&v=n&s=sakj9xxxhdakqxxxc]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] and [hv=d=e&v=n&s=sakj9xxxhdakqxxxc]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] But the best hand I ever saw was very early in my playing days - even before I attended my first club game. I started playing in high school, and in a cut around game within the first month that I was playing, a hand shuffled deal produced this hand: [hv=d=e&v=n&s=sakj9xxxhdakqxxxc]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] This was not set up. The person who held this hand said "OMG! 7NT!" Not the most sophisticated auction of all time, but it was effective. Every hand at the table was 4333, and the hearts split. His partner, by the way, had the single worst hand I have ever seen - 3334 without as much as a 10! But that was good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Not quite as good, but one of my favorites. Years ago, in D.C., I was dealt something like 8 solid spades, the heart Ace, the club A-K, and two small diamonds. Being youthful and creative, I decided to open 1♦. This was passed out. I managed to take six tricks for -50. The par result was 6♠-1 for -50. Another average board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 ♠AQ ♥AKQTxxxxx ♦A ♣A, r/w IMPs. We played 7♥-1, Han at the other table just played 6NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 - AKQJxx AKQxxx A for me... I opened 7♥ LHO Xed, I redoubled, all pass...

Lobowolf Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Got me beat, but for a hand/first round of the auction, I still like my favorite: ♠KQJTx♥AQJTxxxx♦---♣--- After I opened 1♥, partner bid 2NT, Jacoby. Never had a hand where 3 key cards were irrelevant after one round of bidding (even if missing the K♥, it drops)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I remember arriving at my father's class, when a hand was being played, a lady had 33 HCP in hand, her lowest card was ♣9, and not that it was a weak card because it was covered by ♣AKQJ, the hand was if I recall correctly: ♠AK♥AKQ♦AK10♣AKQJ9. Partner had ♦Q but obviously she had no way to find out and played 6NT. I was asking myself why would dad predeal such a hand for a class. Moments later I found it was not predealt!

HeavyDluxe Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 Not a better hand, but one of my favorites was holding this in 3rd seat:♠ J72♥ AKQ♦ AK♣ AKJT7 ... and having partner open 1♠ in first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 My top hand was something like AKQxxxxxAKJxx-- Also held once a 26 hcp flattish hand. Only to see pard open a muiderberg in front with 2 jacks. Naturally, I bid 6NT and went 2 down.. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A2003 Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 No entry to dummy to finesse K♥ and or use dummy AK♣ for discards. Makes only 6♠. http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer...akj87654haqjdak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I recall having ♠ AKQJx, ♥ void, ♦x, ♣ AKJTxxx playing with a pickup with no agreements (a few years ago when I had just found BBO). This is interesting only because my RHO opened 1NT. Hmmm...bid what you think you might make..so 6♣ it was. This got doubled as expected. PD was broke, except his 10 of ♠ gave me the entry I needed to hook opener's Qxx in ♣ to make. I have to admit that this is the only time I've overcalled a strong NT opening at the 6 level.

mtvesuvius Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 The other one I enjoyed was when partner opened a Strong Club (16+) and I held a 25 point hand... I bid 7NT, and claimed before the opening lead :lol:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenrexford Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I was on lead against the opponents' freely-bid 6NT with A-K in one suit, A in a second suit, and a good lead from K-Q in a third suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the kind of hand I have in my bridge dreams (noghtmares), whatever I lead, dummy will show a stupid ♣5, wich I also have in my hand, and the deal will be cancelled.

This reminds me of a time my partner put me in 7NT off the A♠ and I made it... The lady on lead had it, and didn't double and didn't lead it. LOL!

vuroth Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I remember when I was young seeing a family member get a 28 point hand. I was super impressed, because according to Scheinwold, it was too strong to open 3NT! Last Friday, I'm playing rubber bridge with family partnered with the same family member of the famous 28 point hand, when said family member opens: "oh ****" ♠AKQJ♥AKQJ7♦K6♣AK 30 HCP. 6♥ was duly made. Dummy (me) had ♥Txx which was all that was needed on the A♦ lead (trumps split 3-2, not that it mattered) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 On BBO in the last eight years I've held one zero loser hand, one ten bagger (not goulash), and one 29 pounder. I might have posted these here, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 About 6 years back, when I was just starting to play at the club a lot, I picked up: ♠---♥x♦x♣KJT98765432 Yes, there are 11 clubs there. Effectively balanced. I eventually drove to slam opposite partner's opening and jump shift. Partner held: ♠AQxx♥AKxxx♦AJTx♣--- Well... AQ♣ were offside, and the person had the nerve to double... What a miserable way to get a zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
