JonnyQuest Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 yes, the correction is right, it should be ≧. That was a critical error. Of course, it is crucial in integer mathematics since every digit counts - thank you for that. FYP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnu Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 And just as a final bit of interest here is a hand that I played in defence (North) at the local club today. I opened with a weak 2♥ which ops overcalled in ♠ and then raised to 4♠ which I doubled since there seemed to be an unfortunate trump split. I was a little concerned when the hand came down showing 15 HCP in dummy and ♠ support: enjoy. Double-dummy on pianola, and BBO, has it as 4♠-1 with the ♣9, lead which is what happened. As it turns out my RHO had 5♠ so this is probably not a great hand to look at.Still, here it is:[hv=pc=n&s=s4h5dakj982c65432&w=skt653hqdq54ckj87&n=sqj92hkt8762dt6c9&e=sa87haj943d73caqt&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=2hdp2sp4sppdppp]399|300[/hv]I am at a loss to see the point of posting this hand unless the purpose was to highlight bad bidding.responds 2♠ to a takeout double with an 11 count (♥Q may be wasted, but heart singleton should be very useful) and a decent 5 card spade suit. 2♠ could have been a 3/4 card suit and 0 count. East make a "penalty double"??? of 2♥ and then raises 2♠ to game with only 3 card trump support and nothing close to having a 4♠ bid. North opens a weak 2 with a side 4 card major which some players refuse to do, and makes a very speculative double that gets a little lucky to find partner with 2 tricks and East having very poor trumps for the bidding.. Of course, double dummy, 3NT is unbeatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
