Now that they have, what do you do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 If 6H is cold, we're getting a bottom regardless. I don't sac with a hand like this. My vote was to lead the A of diamonds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhm Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I would not have bid 2DAt MP I lead the ace of spades. Rainer Herrmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Well, as you could probably have guessed, 6H was cold. It was sort of a pointless problem since you were doomed for a bottom no matter what you did. South's hand was void KJTxxx x AKxxxx and North was Txxxx Axxx QJT x. My opp who had the hand in the OP doubled, led a top spade and got confused in the play thinking I was void in diamonds and threw the top diamonds away to allow +1, but even 1660 (or 1430 for that matter) was a top.

billw55 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 If 6H is cold, we're getting a bottom regardless.Why should that be so? If it makes, perhaps a few others might bid it. Anyway, I see no reason to consider this hand an exception to the general rule of "don't double a freely bid slam". The gambling leap usually means a void, and so I am not at all sure of beating it. Also agree to start with double, and pull clubs to diamonds. At least, I assume that is what Rainer meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gszes Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 one could make a case that its a free x since this may be the only pair to bid slam. We have no clue how the bidding might have gone at the other tables so we have no clue how good/bad a contract 6h is. Best bet seems pass just in case this pair has somehow lucked into the right spot when the rest of the field got there through investigation. x might take a totally normal score and turn it into a zero merely because it feels bad to have the opps just get plain lucky. BTW if 6h does go down how much better a MP score do you expect if you x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
