7NT makes sense and would be a shame if N didn't have a spade...hence, no entry into S's hand.

6nt

CRAZY! After twice entering N - via A and K of hearts- to finesse in trumps, there is NO NEED to enter N again via a diamond ( which may be trumped by E's remaining trump; just play the K of Spades NOW to remove, safely, E's remaining trump!!!! :o

Just got a chance to play it the other day and have been clamoring to get a copy for myself! A question though. The PGC post on BGG says that they have limited versions of the poker chip. How is day/night tracked otherwise? Or is it just a special version of the chip?

Thanks Thanks ❤🎉

Thanks teacher 🎉

Very helpful as usual Adam. Thank you so much Bajir. Joan Moloney

Always very interesting Curt. Thank you so much Joan moloney

I don't think that's quite correct. the 5 H bid could have the ASpades as that's a key card, then the KH would be another and Q of H would be in the 5H bid.

Hmmm, interesting the exclusion bid. With the1430 you would get a 5 Spade bid showing 2 Key cards with the Q of hearts. That bid since Hearts was set as Trump wood mean either the A,K<Q of hearts or the A of spades and K, Q of hearts. I personally would have figured the Opponents for the A spades from their bid and gone to 7.H with the clubs I had. Don't get that shot very often.

I hope you are going to say RKC Blackwood 1430 Now I'll look

Play the k and trump j after trumps are drawn. Dumb move to play j.

You are amazing teacher Jack🎉 happy new year 2025

Thanks so much teacher 🎉

Safety played first because you have eight cards, including 4 honors with the 10. This means you have enough to use your safety plate first. At 28:55.

Thanks so much and Merry Christmas to you 🎉

Very helpful. It helps me to think of it as with 8-9 pts bid one below game contract. With 10 pts bid at game level even if that may not be the final contract.

This is so helpful. What a fantastic explanation.
