inquiry Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 http://bridgebase.lunarpages.com/cgi-bin/h...etchlin=7421453 Uday rocks...playing against people who will do this to you, is unnerving.... [hv=d=w&v=a&n=s52h8d842cakq6432&w=s976hq652dkt63ct5&e=sakjht93dqj75cj97&s=sqt843hakj74da9c8]399|300|Scoring: IMPWest North East South Pass 3NT! Pass 6♣ Pass Pass Pass [/hv] Uday (south) realizes he is likely off the top two spades, but he puts maximum pressure on his opponents with a leap to 6♣. If they don't lead a spade at trick one, he realizes he has a shot at SEVEN clubs, 2H, 1D with play in heart suit for extra tricks.. the opponents will come under a lot of pressure ot guess what to keep on the run of the club suit. H5 H8 H9 HJ <<--- essentially only lead off top that allows to make. H4 H2 C4 H3 <<--- key to the hand, ruff a heart (transportation problem otherwise) to set up the 12th trick in form of long heartCA C7 C8 C5 CQ CJ S4 CT CK C9 S8 S6 C6 SJ S3 S7 D2 D5 DA D6 HA H6 D4 HT HK HQ D8 Obviously uday only one to bid this one.. huge win in imps. !!!

rona_ Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 I suspect Uday private messaged his opps and said "If you lead a spade you will be barred". Thus the heart lead right into his Ace King Jack :D :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uday Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Our agreement is that the 3N call shows a solid minor plus exactly one outside A or K.We don't get out much -- P had forgotten, and neglected to browse thru our CC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ritong Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 i witnessed the hand , have to admit i thought " omg.." when the 6♣bid appeared, have to admit i thought " lol " when the ♥ lead appeared , and watched the following chat:-uday : " humm -- ty part"-uday's part (a very nice guy called jim) :" humm = i lack the ♣jack , opps "-uday: "well, maybe bigger "when the curtains fell on this drolatic drama , jim okayed he forgot their agreements about this opening bid, which , by the way, does not occur so frequently.nevertheless, my suggestion is : what about playing 3nt = solid minor and NO outside stopper, instead of leaving it to responder guessing in which suit the outside honour advocated by uday is? no outside stopper, and responder is much better placed to take the right decision .okay , enough teaching for now :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 In a short tourney, I think it is a great shot... if partner has two/three hearts and they fail to find the spade lead, you mgiht come home... but I have to admit I didn't know about the agreement for an outside stopper... With a promised outside stopper, it it is not such a swashbuckling bid that I thought it was.... I figured this was akin to a sting cue-bid...... :-) Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inquiry Posted October 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Well, this one is just remarkable by ppliot and ahuzobu. Nothing outstanding to the play, but it has to be seen to be believed... [hv=d=e&v=n&n=skqjt9832hqda765c&w=sa7654ha95432d3ca&e=shkjt876d2c765432&s=shdkqjt984ckqjt98]399|300|Scoring: IMPWest North East South - - Pass 1♦ 2♦ Dbl 4♥ 6♣ Dbl 6♦ Pass Pass Dbl RDbl Pass Pass Pass [/hv] Trick one.. Club ACE lead, ruff with the ACE of diamonds, Claim an overtrick. This hand was also played in 7Dx five times (which scores better), but those hands were flawed for contest purposes of sorts, because 7D was bid as a sacrafice, that happens to make missing three aces.
