Cascade Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 [hv=d=n&v=e&n=sk54hq8d95ct97532&w=sqj72hj764d3cak86&e=s3hk932dkjt642cj4&s=sat986hat5daq87cq]399|300|Scoring: IMPPASS (PASS) 1♠ (PASS)1NT (2♦) PASS (PASS)PASS[/hv] I wasn't that impressed with my partner never raising spades. His best excuse is that we were playing 4-card majors. But still ... Nevertheless the play was interesting: ♠ A 2 5 3♠ T Q K ♦ 2♣ 4 Q A 3♦ 3 5 T Q♠ 9 J 4 ♥2♥ 4 8 9 10♠ 8 7 ♦ 9 ♦ J♣ J ♥ 5 ♣ A 2♥ 6 Q K A♠ 6 ♥ 7 ♣ 6 ♦ 4 Leaving this ending: [hv=d=n&v=e&n=sk54hq8d95ct97532&w=sqj72hj764d3cak86&e=s3hk932dkjt642cj4&s=sat986hat5daq87cq]399|300|Scoring: IMPPASS (PASS) 1♠ (PASS)1NT (2♦) PASS (PASS)PASS[/hv] Declarer advanced the ♥ 3 and I ruffed ace. In order to lead the ♦ 8. Declarer feel from grace (probably playing a different game in which her play was irrelevant) and won the king. Leaving me with the ♦7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Appart from the type in the first trick, well done. You avoided being endplayed in the end, wich of course carries style points as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matmat Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 no beer in a diamond contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 no beer in a diamond contract? There is some dispute about that and I need as many beers as I can get :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I guess you need to give declarer 1/2 of a beer anyway :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 no beer in a diamond contract? There is some dispute about that and I need as many beers as I can get :) Certainly no beer from me in a diamond contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 ....Not even on defence? I think I would order my partner a beer for this play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantumcat Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Nope, no beers when diamonds are trumps. On defence beers are doubled but unfortunately 2*0 = 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'm a purist.I think beers only apply when the defence take the last trick with the D7 in a trump contract with diamonds not trumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 The beer card is originally a Danish custom, actually from the club I play in: Studenterforeningens Bridge Club (The college Students associations Bridge Club.) In it's original form, you'd get a beer, whenever you took the last trick on the ♦7, in any contract, both as defender and as declarer. One strict requirement was, that it hadn't cost a trick, not even an unimportent overtrick. Edit: The beer is on partner, not opponents.

gnasher Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I'm a purist.I think beers only apply when the defence take the last trick with the D7 in a trump contract with diamonds not trumps. I think it applies only if you successfully exit with ♦7 at trick 12 playing No Last Two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
