Why don't you go ahead and pat yourself on the back.

I just think its rediculous that a partner won't open with an OK hand but thinks his hand is worth to keep jumping up beyond the 5 level. I mean an unusual hand maybe such as 5 little and some void

BTW random partner on BBO Express.

You're playing a HUM and didn't alert anything. Well done, you should be proud!

Awful bridge all around. 4♥ is the worst bid I have seen in a LONG time. Even your partner's pass is better than 4♥!

You should go buy a lot of lottery tickets.

So you've fielded partner's psychic pass :)

If you want a better example of a sac that makes, try this one:



Anyway, opening leader felt quite confident looking at Axx, K, AJ9xx, Qxxx, but led the wrong ace, ruffed, A♥, club to the king exposed the 4-0 onside break, trump back to hand, 9♣ led to +2470. Shame they floored 6♠x at the other table, or I'd have had my only 24 IMP swing ever.

I'm still wondering if the right hands have been posted.

Pass: Insane
4H: Insane
5H: Insane

A few other questionable calls too....

Seriously, if I held the 0445 hand and had to fill in, I'd be driving it to slam at least and very heavily suggesting 7 and might just bid it anyway.


On a side note, thats on top of the 12 cards in the overcaller hand and 5 duplicated cards.

No, it is not at all clear that the Express games qualify as bridge.
