8. Here's a double dummy problem.
Deep Finesse says EW can't make any number of hearts! How does this happen? I'm really bewildered, don't I always get at least 6 hearts and a spade?!
9. I went a little crazy here and got lucky.
I passed in second with xx xxx Axx AKxxx (yeah yeah), it goes
p - p - 2S - p
3S
so I just stuck a double in there, and partner sat for it, +300. I still think my double is crazy though.
12.
I had KQTxx JTxx xxx J and opened 2S in third w/r. I played in 3S for down one, which tied for top.
The night also featured me playing a 2S contract thinking I was in 1N. I haven't looked up the matchpoints on that, but I'm sure it didn't score well. Another contract I played in 1N for +120 when +150 was EASILY available, and I was upset at myself. It turns out it wouldn't have mattered at all, the rest of the field is picking up huge numbers. So don't worry, you never know what's going to happen!

8. This must be a bug. I tried another double dummy solver (from Bridge Captain) and it says that EW make 9 tricks in hearts.
ReplyDeleteThe last hand when you were +120 when everyone else is picking up huge numbers, that was board 21. North has a strong 1NT opener, but I guess they were playing weak NTs, so they opened some suit and we ended up playing 1NT. If North opens 1NT, then they will go for a number because South has a 0 count.

I think sometimes the printout is lazy and skips any trump fit of fewer than seven cards. That is my theory, anyway.
