[Aberlour10]

wow!

[neilkaz]

I have had 12 tricks once, but never 13. LOL that you got x'd by LHO who appearently hasn't played much bridge.

 

LOL also at the 7NT bidders and the one that stopped in 6♠

[y66]

Nope. Never seen a hand as nice as that one.

[zenko]

ha ha ha , can you believe that somebody opened 6S? I might try opening 1S (actually I probably would on MPs)

[rogerclee]

This beats the previous record of AQ AKJxxxxxx A A that I had personally seen.

What I thought rather amusing was that at the 7NT tables, one of the ones who doubled was the hand without the Ace, after his partner, on lead with the Ace, passed.

Congrats lol

[dicklont]

Very nice hand and LOL @ 7NT!

 

A similar thing happened at our club last tuesday.

I held 17 points and partner showed 22-23 with his opening, 7 out of 8 tables were in 7NT the other bid only 6NT.

One player put his hand back in the board after the dummy tabled, without showing it.

"One of you has a jack, I take all the tricks." The opps agreed.

[dicklont]

[...] I had to write at the table that its a not a joke what I will bid!

Would that have triggered the double?

You must have done some serious overbidding in the previous hands to get doubled when you announce that you're not joking (this time?).

You are wrong. I announced it because I was simply concerned about the possibility to be removed from the table for the nonserious bidding....what would you think if smbd bid 7♠ in the first seat? the possiblity its a real serious bid is 1:1000......? :)

[hrothgar]

Wha'ts really remarkable is that you even have an entry to dummy

[MFA]

How dull! You get a once-in-a-lifetime hand with 13 top tricks and you open 7 instead of something cunning to provoke a double. Of course, this being BBO, opening 7 is the bid that happened to get you doubled afterall. :)

[nigel_k]

Since it's BBO I would have expected some in 7NT by North.

[aguahombre]

Glad I am not one of the players, who gets his boo boo published on the forum. And I am not giving you any clues as to where to find mine ;)

[the hog]

What would have been even funnier is some "operator" opening 1S and playing it there.

reminds me of this hand from a junior european championships:-

 

First in at white

x

QJT9xxxx

 

bidding at my table with opps silent:

 

1S from me - 2H

2S - 3D (I got a sinking feeling at this point)

3NT - 6NT

Dummy was

Ax

AKxxx

AQxx

Ax

 

low diamond lead. i stuck the queen in which held. low heart off dummy, rho rose and switched to the 8 of C, Q, K, A. I led the last club off dummy before claiming to see if his switch had collected his partner's Kx of clubs, but sadly it had been stiff all along so I could have made +1. It didn't matter though, because 990 was the same lucky 2 imps in as 1020 would have been versus 940.

 

anyway, the funny thing was the german who held my hand in one of the other matches, kicked off with a strong NT and floated his partner's stayman bid (don't know why he chose stayman with that shape), leaving his partner to make stayman +5.

Hi:

 

Several decades ago my partner held AKQ AK AKQJ10xx A

 

He opened a Precision Club and I replied with a positive holding a bunch of quacks.

 

He rebid 2C attempting to draw a double, but after a few more bids chickened out

 

and jumped to 7NT 'without' drawing a double.

 

The strongest HCP hand that I have ever held was AKJ AKx AKQ AKxx

 

Regards,

Robert

When I was in high school, several of us learned the rudiments of the game of bridge. We played a cut around game of rubber bridge one afternoon. One of my opponents picked up:

 

AKQx AKQ AKQ AKQ

 

This was a shuffled and dealt hand. It was not set up.

 

He opened 7NT. His partner held xxx xxx xxxx xxx. Every hand was 4333, so 7NT rolled.

[jdonn]

Gotta double those grands with aces.

[Cascade]

The player who opened 6♠ is one solid preempter :)

[Dirk Kuijt]

True story, from a *very* informal duplicate. I strongly suspect that the hand was stacked, but regardless the story is 100% true.

 

Dealer, West, picks up:

 

AKQ10

AKQ

AKQ

AKQ

 

I'm South, holding

 

Jxxxx

xxx

xx

xxx

 

West starts trembling as he sorts his cards and finally blurts out: 2♠

 

The bidding goes P-P-P.

 

West, after his partner's (and wife) pass, leans across the table in astonishment (not anger), and said, "You can't do that." To which the reply was: "But dear, we agreed to play weak two bids."

 

The hand was played 5 times, 7NT twice making 7, 6NT twice making 7, and 2♠ once making 5. The hand really belongs in 7♦, since East has a six card diamond suit. I don't really know how the NT bidders made 7, unless North leads a spade each time; what else does South have to hold on to?

[Fluffy]

I don't remember the hand fully but it was something like:

 

AKJ10xxx

-

AKQJx

A

 

 

one player at our local who has been playing for more than 15 years bid

 

2♣-2♦

2♠-3NT

4♦-4♠

6♠-6NT-(X)

pass-pass

 

for down 2 with 7♠ cold, she of course blamed partner for the 6NT bid.
