Praise Dummy

Hi all

The deal I wrote about yesterday was worth all match points, this deal was worth exactly zero.

South opened 1 and when North raised to 2 South singlehandedly carried on to slam. I don’t know why he even bothered to ask for keycards, as South was holding them all himself.

I led my 3rd and turned at least two shades paler when dummy came down. Complete and utter garbage, but it’s working all perfectly: trumps splitting, extremely convenient singleton , and a well placed King of . Sure, everybody gets lucky once in a while, but this makes me feel a bit nauseous and jittery.
