pescetom Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 MPs, in S non-vulnerable.

How do you plan to proceed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in the replay only, because partner is playing 2S currently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pescetom Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Yes a spade to the 9 would have been sensible.Here's the actual layout. [hv=pc=n&s=s63hk42dkq87cat63&w=skt2h63dj952ckq72&n=saj954haq7dt4c954&e=s987hjt85da63cj8&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=p1dp1sp1np2c(puppet)p2d(completion of puppet)p2s(INV, 5-card)p3nppp]400|300[/hv] 3NT-1 was actually a bottom so far, as most had made 9 tricks and the other two who did not were in 2NT.2♠ would not have been much better.There is a 10th trick available in NT although nobody had yet found it when we played the hand.
