At first I thought I imagine it and they were just very similar, but now I am sure. Played a couple of rather memorable hands - as soon as I realized it is the same deal, I could place every card and did not misplay it this time. I'm rather shocked by this, as well as disappointed.

Of course I'm sure it wasn't an instant tournament - I don't even play those.The problem with links is that I don't know how to search my history for specific hands, and I play a lot of hands... So while the second occurence is right in front me, I don't know how to find the 1st one. Anyway, here is a hand I played today:tinyurl.com/2asjjhe2 As soon as I bid I was kicking myself for not bidding 4H. Less so after I saw dummy. But then I saw that the best line must be to win immediately, unblock C A and try to endplay W in trumps, so that he has to give me an entry to dummy. This jogged my memory, because it is such an interesting hand. I remembered that the first time I did bid 4H and went down, when I played W for DQ (I did guess singleton Q, but up D J, when W played a low D). So this time I knew immediately after the lead that E has singleton Q H and doubleton D Q. And made 11 tricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_of_D Posted July 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Here is another one:https://tinyurl.com/ydt57jlu After the D lead, I was marking time, cashing hearts and trying to figure out which finesse to takefor the 9th trick. Until E discarded S8, which in the robot system should be encouraging (I think).This jogged my memory: the first time I played the hand I believed E and so played W for the singleton KC (the only chance, I thought). So this time I knew W has both black kings, and KC is single.But it sure takes a lot of fun away when one can know these things, even if only sometimes.
