Creeksider Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 This is just a bit of an oddity; it looks like a setup rather than a result you could ever get from a random deal. Handviewer link My 4♠ is based on knowledge that my partner is very new to the game and hasn't learned even the basics of bidding. I'd rather go down in 4 than miss game playing in 2 or 3. Turns out she was a little light in the trump department for her 2♠ bid. This is in the relaxed room, BTW. When dummy comes down and I see that we have a 4-2 fit in trumps I figure we're dead. You might survive that holding with a lot of HCP firepower, but we had just 23 between us. What's more, although I didn't know it at the time, the outstanding trumps broke 5-2. At first glance I was thinking I might go down 2 if I was lucky. A spade lead would have set the contract, but after the club lead we get a club, three diamonds (had to have them break and needed the Q onside), and six separate tricks with the six trumps. The play of the hand isn't especially remarkable; the only lesson is don't give up when you see a disappointing dummy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Fun dummy reversal - Would be even sweeter if you switch the ♠9 and ♠8 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
