diamond is led to the A, diamond returned
Amazingly, on a 12 top, reaching and making this 29 point slam is a 6.5 in a side pairs game.

I was curious, so I looked at the recap. 3 were in it with overs and 6 including you guys were in it making 6.
ReplyDeleteE has a 2D preempt AJT874. Perhaps your opponents were playing a funny 2D or they don't preempt with a 4cM even if it's 7632.
So constructive auction might go:
1S 2H
3S 4N?
Whatever 6S
I think N can blackwood with that hand at that point with a good source of tricks and no minor to cue. I guess 4H is possible, but puny. Would 5H be picture bid?
It's reachable, nonetheless. What about if they preempt? Their partner has Kxxx but they're unfavorable so I don't know what they'll raise it to. Let's assume 3D, but 4D is possible.
(2D) X (3D) 4H
(P) 6S?
