[RunemPard]

Almost won our area's bragging rights tourney with various pairs from many clubs. 54 boards split into two rounds of 28/26. After the 1st 28 boards, we had a poor session finishing with 48.5%. Many boards that we should have done better on, but we went into tonight hoping to pull off a miracle anyways! The top pair leading with just over 59%. We managed to nearly get our total % up to 57 and a 5th place finish with a 65% session tonight. However, I still made some bad calls that cost us beating the #1 pair with just over 58%.

Would you have bid/played any of them differently?

The opponents make a huge mistake giving us a freebie in hearts. I have no clue why, but now we have a chance to make! And I got it wrong.

These 3 hands would have been enough to win by a few points...what would you have done?

[Cyberyeti]

#1: I play S for one or both spade honours by running the Q then running the 10. On a good day N has stiff J and I make an overtrick.

[CamHenry]

#1: I give up the ♥ trick, ruff the ♥ return (unless they feel extra generous), then fail to notice Cyberyeti's line. I probably play a small ♠ towards dummy, planning to insert the nine (again playing for S to hold an honour, but losing the overtrick chance).

#2: I double, though I don't like it. I then lead the ♦A.

#3: This hand just got a lot better. Is 3♥ forcing? I think I like it even better if it's NF.
