matmat Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 so you are complaining that you went off in 3nt after partner preempted in a major and you insisted on game in NT with two of the three side suits unstopped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 First of all, I thought bridge discussions weren't allowed in the WC. Second, there seems to be something missing from the auction. What did partner bid after 2NT? With the opps having all spades except Q, and RHO having 7 diamonds, I suspect they could have made a game. At favorable vulnerability, your -13 is not much worse than their game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elianna Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 First of all, I thought bridge discussions weren't allowed in the WC. You seriously think that this is a bridge discussion? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helene_t Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 At favorable vulnerability, your -13 is not much worse than their game.It was only nine down (no, contrary to conventional wisdom, OP never managed to go 13 down in 3NT). -450 is great against their vulnerable game. One of my first online games, btw, was -400 for 8 down when p passed my 4NT take-out, that scored very well at matchpoints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y66 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 the auction for those of us who thought the OP was confusing:2♥-p-2NT 3NT Thank you. I see now why the OP did not use the Hand Editor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyberyeti Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Silly things can happen, I recall playing in 5Nx which doesn't happen all that often, and the choice of lead dertermined who made 11 tricks. They got it and subsequent discards wrong :D so I made 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I made what I think is my record NT trick difference taking this weekend, I managed to get 2 tricks from ♠Jxx opposite ♠98xx and opponents never played their other suit, wich resulted in 1NT + 4 instead of the 1NT -4 double dummy solvers think that should be achieved for a total 8 trick difference.

iviehoff Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Even Zia Mahmood once lost all 13 in 3N, bid to make, so it can happen to the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
