Was your partner called away to the phone during the auction and had the wine waiter "bid" his hand. I suggest this "partner" needs the sack. Surely a sensible auction is that you should end in 2/3 Ds.

Hehe I was kinda impressed since tthe real hand was nearly exactly as Phil suggested :-).

How do you do to print all the tricks Ben?, I´ve always had to do it manually but seems there is a better method.

You just have to go get Cascade's wonderful Linconverter.exe, it has superduper features for printing here, and also text for your own records too....

Another trick I use is I copy data I want to excel, remove thisngs I don;t want (perhaps players names), convert the "table" to "text" by addiing tabs, and I replace the tabs with mulitple copies of the following (except no spaces) & # 1 6 0 ;

The key point about this thread is not whether a game makes.

A hand was posted here and we were asked what we would bid. We naturally assumed that partner's bid was sensible. Based on that assumption it is an interesting hand, albeit one with a fairly clearcut answer.

I, for one, felt somewhat annoyed when I saw partner's actual hand. There is almost no point in asking questions of the form "You are bidding opposite a lunatic. What do you do in this position?" Because the answer is always "Take a complete guess, and hope I get lucky".
