Both tables started with a heart preempt. I began with 3♥ at the other table, and the auction was short... 3h 3nt all pass. I should balance back in with 4♣ (7-5 come alive), but especially after I took so long to pass. If Barry had found the club ace and a club lead, I would have protested the result if I was the other team (I did huddle a while before passing). Barry lead a diamond at our table. As you can see this was a double game swing. We actually lost the lead on board 7, I think, but it was still close. This hand was the beginning of end for team bbo forum.

Phil Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yes, I think both of you can and should bid again. Its too much to ask for a club lead. Barmar's 4♥ has many ways of winning - it might make or it might be a cheap save. Larry Lande said something insightful to me in spec - Barry should suspect you have an unusual hand because he has two heart honors and his RHO overcalled 3N. I would bid 4♣ on yours. You have such a freak hand that taking another call looks right. JEC might find a 4♠ call now, but you'll go plus on the obvious club lead.

barmar Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I did suspect something weird was going on, and thought a while before I passed. But I thought Mike might misplay ♥, not expecting me to have all the good stuff, so I didn't bid 4♥. Then I made a passive lead, hoping something good would happen.

JLOGIC Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 JEC might find a 4♠ call now, but you'll go plus on the obvious club lead. lol at the thought of barmar selling out to 4S with KJx of hearts and Ax of clubs and no other honors 4-4 if it went 3H 3N p p 4C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
