TimG Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I hate to admit it, but I think you also have to consider a club partial on #2....or maybe you didn't mention it because it gets a zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is 3♦ then? prefer 4d over 2s. ---- any bid between 2s and 3nt is a try for 3nt first and foremost. Game before slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you mean 2♦ and not 4♦? We were not playing Bart here. 2♦ would be NF for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inquiry Posted November 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 On Board 2 (the first of these two hands), two pairs reached a hopeless 3NT. Let's call that a 1 MP score.Six clubs has very reasonable play (set up long heart, fall back on ♠ finesse, if necessary), or major suit squeeze. No one bid it. But 5♣ has to be better than 3♣. So the scores I had in mind are 6♣ = 105♣ = 84♣ = 53NT = 2 Three and four hearts have play, but since no one bid them, I will not share what I thought they deserved. If you think the possibility of heart contracts should have a more dramatic effect on the scores above, speak up. Gnasher and East4Evil move into first after this board. On Board 3 (the second of these hands), the players did well. This was added by me with the thought that they might overbid. 3♦ = 82♥/2♠ = 6games zero. Gnasher still in first after this board, but TylerE/bidemup and the goodwin's are only 1 point behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayin801 Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Just an FYI, not sure if putting us in first was a typo after board 2, but I think we reached 3NT there, making it highly unlikely we were in first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
