paulg Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) We lost by 73-33 imps. There were three big swings out. We lost 16 imps when Alex and I bid to the wrong slam on board 3. We lost 15 imps when Alex doubled their game holding just two aces, four trumps and a singleton in the suit in which I'd made a vulnerable overcall - declarer failed to make the overtrick (!) but the problem was compounded when team mates played in my suit. Finally we lost 11 imps when team mates played in a 6-2 rather than their 4-4 fit. We missed a couple of non-vulnerable games, including:[hv=pc=n&w=saj743hdq932ca973&e=st62hakq953daj6c5&d=n&v=n&b=9&a=p1hp1sp3h(14-16)ppp]266|200[/hv] I took a pessimistic view given the vulnerability combined with the likelihood that partner did not have three spades. Wrong this time although I'm not sure how good game is, but everything makes! In the other room my hand forced to game over a simple 2♥ rebid.

gwnn Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 The usual result but very nice summary by paulg. I would never pass 3♥ on your hand, and don't understand pass over 1D on board 22 and the failure to convert 4♥ to 4♠ on board 10. (but I would make other mistakes which would make the result worse) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulg Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I would never pass 3♥ on your hand ...Perhaps I was overthinking the hand, but partner will not have a decent fitting sixteen count (would use Gazzilli) and opposite 26(32) we probably have a loser in every suit. The fact it was a non-vulnerable game and I had no intermediates were the big factors in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Following the play on the hand where you played 6S, north led the spade jack and later won the diamond queen. Now, he has a 100% set by giving partner a diamond ruff, indicated by the auction. Instead, north exited passively, which was only winning because south had the spade king. What if south had had 10xx of spades, couldn't declarer have played exactly the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
