Needless to say they all got hammered. There was only 1 disciplined North who allowed the 2♠ bid to stand which went down 3 for a top score for N/S. The rest of the tables played in a ♥ contract by East. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 An unnamed person playing with a pickup partner on BBO tried for slam with 4-card fit and a singleton after (1♠)-2♠ made by some absurd beginner from Netherlands/Iceland/Romania. Turns out the 2♠ bid was made on a void in spades! Also quite poor I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is south ever going to know that 3 spades is natural, and why does north want to play against a known 5 or 6-0 spade break? The best part is that 7 Norths did it! Seven! I should play in your club game... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billw55 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 hmm, so you are saying that all 8 wests opened 2♠? That is interesting by itself. And in this same environment, 7 norths then bid spades directly? I am not sure what to think. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
