Free Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 The first hand I had today in a tourney, off for a great start - not: [hv=d=s&v=e&n=st82hakt92dcqjt73&w=sa4h76543dq83cak4&e=skqj953hdak752c92&s=s76hqj8djt964c865]399|300|Scoring: MP[/hv] Bidding (playing 4 card Majors): pass - 1♥ - 2♣ - Dblpass - 2♦ - pass - 3♣pass - 3NT - pass - 4♦pass - 5♣ - pass - 6♦all pass 1♥ = 4+♥Dbl = 9+, doesn't need ♠ (but usually has them)2♦ = nat, didn't want to bid 2♥ with such garbage3♣ = general GF3NT = at least a control ♣4♦ = minorwood5♣ = 2 keycards with ♦Q ♣Q was lead, and it looked quite good. ♦ 4-1 or 3-2 split and it's laydown. But noooooooooo, they had to be 5-0, to give me an impossible contract :D Imo, 6♠ is safer (and collects more), but also impossible on this hand. -100 - boohoo :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I know exactly what you mean. Once in a european championship, me and pard bid to the super-contract of 6 diamonds which only a 5-0 break beats. Guess what... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 It could be worse 7♦ and 7♠ are resonable contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 well buddy, you know what i'm gonna say :D ... west opens 1nt : 2d = game force2s : 2nt = 4+ hearts not 4 spades3nt : 4c = 2533, control ask4s : 4nt = 5, spiral5c here's where it gets interesting.. east knows you have the spade A, the club A, K, and no heart honors, so he's gonna bid 6S i imagine (i would).. it's down probably, but i still think the bidding was correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trpltrbl Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 If you play in a good field everybody will do pretty much the same.But if you play a different system compared to rest of the field, you will create many swings. Some good some bad. As long as the the good outscore the bad you do good. Mike :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
