Bad_Wolf Posted December 15, 2020 Report Share Posted December 15, 2020 Club bridge is a very strange game, you are south... [hv=pc=n&s=s53h85daq852cj743&e=s8hqt742dkt6ct965&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=1hdp2d2sppp]266|200|Believe it or not...[/hv] Partner leads a small ♦, how do we feel? Good? Surely people will make more tricks in hearts... Bad? Perhaps 4♥ is off when 2♠ makes... Well actually neither. West has opened a 5413 with 1♥ because they "wanted to reverse". But still hearts are better right? Well sure, but as we said this is a club session. The field played in 1♠ for the same 8 tricks. Just another boring flat board.

If I were East I'd get a bottom when I pre-emptively leap in hearts and go down. I don't know what East was thinking not raising hearts or correcting after 2♠, did they hold a different hand during the bidding? Why would you prefer a 4-1 fit over a 5-4 fit? This is one of the things I find frustrating with bridge. I do something careless/reckless/stupid, I get the hand of God down on me. Someone else does something completely irrational, they land on their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
