Zelandakh Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 This is either a joke or a UI case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_20686 Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 ffs, this has reminded me of the most annoying hand ever. I had 7 trumps over declarers 5, and I ended up conceding 5 trumps tricks defending 1Sx because I could not shorten my trumps enough and ended up having to lead into declarers trumps/letting him ruff things, all the time. [hv=pc=n&s=skj97532h2d2c5432&w=s4h98763d9754ct98&n=shak54da863ckqj76&e=saqt86hqjtdkqjtca]399|300[/hv] Play started with a club lead, then a diamond to the ace and a club ruffed by declarer, then he played a diamond, so I ruffed and played a heart, and partner played another top heart (discarding a club), then a third heart, which I ruffed and played my fourth club, which declarer ruffed, and now I have two more trumps than him, so he plays a diamond I have to ruff and play a trump and then he played another diamond and I had to ruff and play a trump. PS: the hand is a construction based roughly on my memory of what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinorKid Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 On this hand i bid 3♦. Partner having 30 points in his hand raised to 7♦. It is extemely unbeliveable that 7♦= was the bottom score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandakh Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Why did partner double Two Spades?Perhaps (s)he was catering to us having AQT8642 in trumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Perhaps (s)he was catering to us having AQT8642 in trumps. But surely we need eight to pass ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggwhiz Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 It is extemely unbeliveable that 7♦= was the bottom score. :blink: Great hand. I'm so glad I'm not you. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I heard 2Sx= is game, there are a lot of brave people here but you should take this into consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 East has levelled us, and I would like a game with him some time. He has overcalled 2♠ with hearts. Then had the bottle to pass when North doubled, trusting that we would have a monumental screw-up, or failing that, a cold grand. We must be cold for Seven Spades - I rather suspect we have about 19 tricks, but eight down in Two Spades is only 2000. :) I would have bid Three Spades on the first round, which is natural for me. And partner's double shows a balanced hand with no clear direction, since with an unbalanced game force, he just bids a suit. I simply don't believe partner has ♠- ♥AKQJ ♦AKQJT ♣AKQJ. Who doubles Two Spades with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilKing Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Eight down doubled vulnerable is 2300 Assumed they were at favourable - no good with colour coding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
