Good evening folks
Here is how to play bridge but don't play too good ..
Here we see Alan O'Sullivan bidding a fine 6H for his partner to play.
Some good pointers in this hand about playing.
Alan gets an opening bid from partner in his best suit and doing his losing trick count
comes up with about 5 losers.
5 losers is slam zone opposite an opening bid so Alan rolled out the cannon.
4NT told him about 3 aces and he went on and got the bad news about the kings so
he settled for 6H.
So we are going to play 6H ..
Well we have a 2S move down in the South hand so that might help us.
We have a slow diamond loser and a club finesse or drop or some kind of Galligan play
to make
................................
Our declarer done some eliminations in spades and diamonds and played 2 rounds of clubs
catching the helpless Bill Hunter in a hopeless endplay.
You can replay the hand here
..........
Why is nobody else having a go at 6H ...its a good one to bid
The folks in 3H plus 2 might need to improve their evaluation
Just a bidding misunderstanding ..one thought 3H was forcing and the other NOT
Anyway well done to Carolann on the declarer play .. Someone actually rang me up to tell me about the fantastic declaring play so I thought I best slap it up there.
I might have tried Club Queen to see if I could tempt robotcop to cover or hesitate.
Robot is unlikely to be programmed to cover a 10 ....
Of course declarer might not have been planning on deprogramming the robot ..
It was the first hand of 4 so might not have noticed robocops presence.
EDIT ... Of course I was somewhat dumb when writing the about Clubs play as QJT of clubs are
visible in dummy ... Hmmm
...........
Sadly the next 11 boards brought few gains for this great declarer as Rdelargy and tito44 held her at bay.
