daveharty Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I couldn't find the thread about yarbs with the lowest pip count, but last night I was dealt this lovely collection: ♠3 ♥6542 ♦75432 ♣762. Turned out to be one of our few good boards. Here was the full hand: [hv=pc=n&s=sqt86hkjt8dak8caq&w=sk542hq93dq6cjt43&n=saj97ha7djt9ck985&e=s3h6542d75432c762]399|300[/hv] N/S bid briskly to 6NT, and North managed to set herself despite 12 easy tricks, losing to both red queens. "Good try," her partner remarked diplomatically. She sighed. "Seems like my finesses never work against these guys!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM75 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 There are 12 cards lower than a 6 and your opponents only had one of them. There are 12 cards higher than a 10 and you had 4 and won with half of them. Very efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM75 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 probability of the less than 8 yarb = 0.00000393 ( I think) So I guess you might expect to see this about every 250,000 hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iviehoff Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 She sighed. "Seems like my finesses never work against these guys!"As usual, when complaining about bad luck, players overlook their good luck. The SK was right, wasn't it? And that was all the luck she needed. If the SK had been wrong, she really would have needed some seriously good luck in the red suits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
