A success story! but not without a modicum of luck

MP, robot tourney, best hand South


Another inelegant auction despite that there are not too many pass cards remaining in the box.
This was going to be 0% or 100% when I bid it. Turned out to be 100%.
On the bidding I reckoned that partner's sole Ace was sufficiently more likely to be in Spades than Hearts as to justify going for the top or bottom.

We are taught from the cradle not to use Blackwood with a void, but is there a more sensible way of bidding it?

Psyche (pron. sahy-kee): The human soul, spirit or mind (derived, personification thereof, beloved of Eros, Greek myth).
Masterminding (pron. mPosted ImagesPosted ImagetPosted Imager-mPosted ImagendPosted Imageing) tr. v. - Any bid made by bridge player with which partner disagrees.
