manudude03 Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 thanks, fixed. Had the hand rotated for convenience and mixed up the clubs ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siegmund Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I'm going to be boring and trust my partner to have his bid ;) He did, after all, feel that he wasn't going to cost us a trick by overtaking my perhaps-singleton jack.

manudude03 Posted September 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 You'd think for a unanimous poll, it would be the right answer. I was declaring this and sure enough the opp did lead a second heart. I guess it might have been more interesting in 6NT... The full hand below (OP was rotated): [hv=n=skq974hakdk8cat86&w=sjthqt9752dt9cq43&e=s532hj8dj6542ckj7&s=sa86h643daq73c952]399|300|[/hv] The only way to hold the contract to 2 overtricks was to lead the ♣K (small club not good enough). If anyone goes hunting for the hand record, it was imps scoring, but boring that way. And yes, West does have a very bad weak 2 vul, but it did happen ATT.

Siegmund Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 It's not the first time that a bad bid caused a blown trick on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 ♣K return would be too difficult for me. Dude bid and played well, and deserved a top board (well, would have deserved it if it really had been MP!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 ♥ is really obvious after the bid and overtaking ♥J at trick 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
