Fluffy Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 [hv=pc=n&s=sa754h7dk742ca942&w=skqjt93hj92dac753&n=s82hakt843dj85cq6&e=s6hq65dqt963ckjt8]399|300[/hv]East is dealer, nobody vulnerable. Table 1: East-South-West-Northpass-pass- 2 ♠ -passpass- 2NT-pass- 3♥pass- 3NT-pass-passpass Table 2: East-South-West-Northpass-pass- 3 ♠ -4♥pass-pass-pass- At the table 1, south played 3NT after showing minors over the weak 2, and not willing to let partner play 3♥, tried a thing game. ♠K was led, taken, now declarer tried to stablish hearts playing low to 10, expeting to endplay east on his way to dummy later. East won ♥Q and escaped with low diamond. Declarer though east would never escape underleading ♦AQ, and now his best hope was to catch stiff ♦Q to save some undertricks, so he tried the King. Not a success, he also made the mistake of pitching a club on the run of the spades and defence then made 3 club tricks after west crossed the suit. He was held to 2 tricks and 7 downs. At the table 2, north was (very) agressive and became declarer in 4♥, received the ♠6 lead to the ace, king and 2, and played a heart to the ♥10 captured by ♥Q. East switched to low diamond, declarer guessing to play low and ♦A won. Now west, eager to get his his diamond ruff setting the contract, played ♠3 to force partner to ruff this trick. Partner ruffed, but took ♠3 a suit preference for clubs, and switched to ♣10. Declarer won ♣Q. This only set 9 tricks to declarer, but after drawing trumps, declarer ruffed a club in hand to eliminate west's clubs, then squeezed east in the minors for the 10th trick. So we made 2 tricks in one table, 10 by the opponents in the other *8 trick difference). Adding 350 to 420 for a way to lose 13 IMPs that you probably haven't seen before. Bonus question: wich of the players was me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 wow.. ridiculous bidding at both tables so I guess you're East at one of them :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Too long ago to remember the hand but I once bid and made 6♣ on bizarre defence and bidding (by me) when they underled an Ace at trick one. The other table was down 1 in 4♣ on equally bizarre play. Maybe not the hall of shame but it wouldn't take long for roll call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 wow.. ridiculous bidding at both tables so I guess you're East at one of them :)If OP was East, it was at table 2 because of the detail in the OP. North at #1 would also be favorable to Fluffy. The only other two possibilities: West at #2 and South at #1 made unenviable choices which we all have made before and might have worked out better with a different layout. "We all" was a tweak, Stephanie. Let this one slide :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 north at T1 was my father, I was the west at T2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
