BnBeever Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 My week was made tonight when I made the most unlikely contract I've ever played - 6 Clubs on a 3-3 fit, missing the Jack of clubs and a cashable ace. To top it all off, 6NT won't make, and I got a joint top with only 1 other slam – 6D on the scoreslip)Board 12♠AQJ3♥Q104♦K65♣Q107 ♠43♥2♦AQJ10942♣AK9 Contract: 6C by SouthLead: 8 of diamonds lead.Play: Won with QD. Finessed JS. 7C to AC. Repeat spade finesse. Cash AS disc heart. KD ruffed by East. East played ace of hearts ruffed using K to allow entry to dummy via club finesse to draw last trump from each opponent using Q. Diamonds enjoyed.Bidding: North: 1D (10-15) South: 2S (puppet to 2NT) 2NT (forced) 3D (1430 in D. I thought 3NT resp would now be void D) 3NT (2 KC no Q tr) 6C (in case partner had void D, & therefore 5+ C) Pass (Trusting partner to have done something clever with his 3D bid) Final Scoreslip: 6C = (us) 1370 6D= 1370 3NT (+3) 690 3NT (+2) 660 3NT (+2) 660 5D (+1) 620 5D (+1) 620Last hand of the night. Nice way to finish. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattieShoe Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 I love those hands... Sweeter making those than the perfectly bid and played hands! I had a crazy hand where I thought we had slam, eventually bid 5♠ to indicate control of suit, and partner inexplicably passed. We had a 3-2 fit in spades. Ended up making 5 with a little help from the defenders... Spades split 4-4 and after winning 3 spade tricks, opponent won trick and led a spade, drawing last remaining spade from partner and putting the lead in the wrong hand. Best part was the slam failed on a couple boards and we ended up with a +IMP score for the whole mess. I was so excited :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dicklont Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 [hv=n=sqj98742hq54dkqcq&s=s5hak2daj83cak1082]133|200|[/hv]North opened, EW passed all the time.1♠ - 2♣2♠ - 3♦3♠ - 4NT5♦ 0-3 Since 3 keycards is not possible I had to decide what to do.I was planning on bidding 6♠ or 6NT but both are unmakable now, so 5♠ is is?Partner must have values outside spades for his opening bid and I decided that 6♣ or 6♦ would have chances and bid 6♣. This gamble did not end so well when the clubs were 5-1. Still it was a lucky hand when at the other table 5♠ went -1 for only 3 imps loss.My punishment for foolish optimism could have been 13 imps.
