zenbiddist Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 Your first board against new opponents. Your lead to 6♦ (yes, Australian preempts are loose):[hv=pc=n&w=skjt854h876d76cq6&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=3s(Preempt%2C%206%2B!S)d4s6d(Tank%20then%206!D)ppp]133|200[/hv] And onto the next one. By this point in the match you know that your opponents bidding is beyond optimistic, but so far it's worked. You're 6 boards in to a 10-board IMPs match:[hv=pc=n&w=s853hj984d4ck8532&d=s&v=e&b=3&a=1sp4s(No%20fancy%20raises)d(Takeout)p4n(Two%20places)d(%22Penalty%22)5cpp5sppp]133|200[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesleyC Posted June 28, 2015 Report Share Posted June 28, 2015 1. ♠K. Also happy with ♣Q. 2. ♦4 seems clear. For the record, I definitely wouldn't be defending 5S undoubled! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenbiddist Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 I just wanted to hear peoples' reasoning before I showed the hands. Here they are: Hand 1 (check out North's takeout double of 3♠!!):http://s13.postimg.org/jmxqwe7k7/Screen_Shot_2015_06_30_at_12_26_47_AM.pnghosting imagesI have a lot of sympathy for my partner, who led a spade (a non-club). Hand 2:http://s30.postimg.org/5n6wnmmtd/Screen_Shot_2015_06_30_at_12_26_30_AM.pngfree image uploadingPartner led the diamond singleton on hand two, which seems like the best shot. Thankfully the opps' aggro bidding eventually backfired, and we took a rewound contract many off on the last board of the match for a small win :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinksy Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I'd prob have led a heart on the first hand, though been tempted by a small club. Diamond obv on the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
