#1 either a diamond lead OR a spade leads yielda 9 tricks only for declarer

[@Kartalallen]

B5 dbl didn’t show 18 hcp i think you misread it. It was take out 13-18 and looks the right choice. My auction matched Danny’s here

[@johnworf]

i must have misread it then

[@Kartalallen]

B2 I ducked the KD lead, won the AD, spade to the Ace, club to the king. Now East has shown up with 9 points and robots virtually open all 11 counts now so I played for the QS drop. Two off. Danny won first round of diamonds and hooked immediately to win the board. That’s a poor line imo.

[@Kartalallen]

This line also meant I could win AH on the switch and end play West potentially in hearts to go 1 less off if the lie was expected

[@Kartalallen]

B4 playing MPS I don’t think that 1444 shape hand is worth 3H personally so bid 2H. I can’t remember my result now but can say you got the kindest defence to 4H ever. It’s like they were trying to let you make!

[@Kartalallen]

You also counted 10 tricks by drawing trumps before you know you’re making all four clubs. A spade ruff is good to ensure 10 if hearts behave. He got unlucky that hearts were 4-1 and the stiff king hearts took out an honour

[@VanessaSchmithorst]

I also ducked the KD but Lia shifted to a C, which means I have no chance for an endplay in H. Robots really open something like Qx xxx KQxx Axxx? Good to know.
