WD Anshul, nice set. . Nice to hear the story of how you started playing bridge :)

Thanks, Anshul! Almost everything I did worked; doesn't mean it was right: 1. I opened 1S and bought it for 2S. I think opening this hand is percentage. 2. I (eccentrically) led the DA, concerned about early pitches. All roads lead to a draw. 3. I opened 4H leading to a confused auction by LIa - 4H-4S-X by partner, and the advancer thought it would be a good idea to redouble with the notation "Penalty process started." In fact, the penalty process had ended and we played there and 4S is not a maker. I am aware this is aggressive with the flat shape, but at this vulnerability they don't kill you and eat you when they can. 4. Same result. 5. I tried a quite conservative 2S which has several ways to lose (not high enough, wrong strain) but it worked out here. Upon reflection, I think 4C is better but I'll take the lucky win. Good luck!

@@JohnRMayne #5 2S seems good to me. . Pd is passed, LHO is unlimited, and our S are terrible.
