Hi all
Yesterday I played with Dennis. Me bidding like a hesitant snail on sedatives didn’t really work out for our score. Next deal is nice and compensates a little for all disasters.





Dennis showed a 6-4 with 4NT. East wasn’t happy with our bidding and showed his discomfort with a booming double.
I ruffed the Ace of and drew one round of trumps with the Ace, West playing the Jack. I took stock, E-W bidding game on such a low point-count meant that there was shape involved. I cashed both
honours and ruffed a third round, West discarding. Another
ruff in dummy and I started playing dummy’s high diamonds. East ruffed, I overruffed and crossed to the Queen of
(extracting the outstanding trump in the meantime). After cashing the remaining
, I led a
towards the King for an unexpected overtrick.
Well, I guess +650 isn’t really uncommon, but I wonder whether a lot of people can say that they scored it in a contract.
