Not to detract from your lesson (I agree that 2♠ is the "correct" bid here), but 3♥ might very well make on these hands. It needs the ♥K lead to beat it double dummy.


And east has a fairly comfortable reopening double after 2♠ p p

:P Gary Hayden didn't reopen. Maybe he was considering that my partner, who declared 2♠, was on tilt. On the previous hand she down five in a 4♠ game made at the other table.

It shows why counting losers on hands like this is sort of silly. How is 98xx QJT Txx ATx worth the same as xxx QJx xxxx Axx?

I'm with Josh on this.

Me too.
Kind regards,
Harald
