Because you haven't played in a club game in over a month you agree to play with the club owner who is friendly and plays the cards OK, but whose bidding leaves a lot to be desired.

In the 3rd round we sit down against one of my ex-pards who I am still on good terms with. Vul / NV I look at: ♠Ax ♥J8xxx ♦ 5xx ♣ K7x. Pard opens 1♦ as dealer and ex-pard doubles. I try 1♥ and LHO doubles. I assume this is penalty, but no alert is forthcoming. Pass by pard and pass by RHO. I probably should rescue myself, but I just pass. I buy:

Scoring: MP


Pard comments: I didn't think you'd stay in 1♥ (really?)

LHO leads the J♦, I win. I put the Q♠ on the table and it wins. Spade to the Ace and a small heart out of my hand. RHO wins and plays a 2nd diamond, which LHO follows to (whew!). Club to my hand (winning; thats 5 tricks already) and a 2nd low heart. LHO wins and cashes a 3rd heart. Now 2 rounds of clubs, RHO winning the A and J. RHO tries to cash the K♠. I ruff (Trick 6), and play my last heart to RHO who has to give me trick 13 with the Q♠.

The defense fell down when LHO didn't overtake the club J with the Queen so that they could score their trump separately. They can also time their spade plays to make their trump apart too.

The entire hand:

Scoring: MP


+160 was a next to top. The field is playing in their 9 card diamond fit and are usually making 11 tricks on a spade lead. There was a slew of +150's on the traveler. It felt pretty good to scramble 7 tricks.

If a 5-0 split is called Hawaii, whats a 5-0 trump FIT called? :P :P :rolleyes:

I think it is rather the 4-4 trump break that when referred to as a 44 is usually a big bust...... :D

I think we have a new record for necroing on this forum, nice as it would be to have Phil, Justin and Gonzalo back.
