Thanks Christophe. On 2, if you jump with the AC at trick 2, Lia sees partner's J and plays for restricted choice, finessing to P's QC. This holds it to =

[@VanessaSchmithorst]

So Lia thinks you would pop with AQx? Doesn't make sense.

@@VanessaSchmithorst You are completely right .... but that's what Bridge is about somehow, sometimes, giving the opps the chance to make a mistake :)

[@grahamlucy6627]

Nice commentary and analysis. Keep up the good work. . #1 Of course we X. Give pd 6H and the opps ALL the S and TNT is still only 19. . BTW … in my “other results” list, there is another cRiCRi player who bid 1H (1S) 4H.

[@cricrinho]

Yes, that was me playing around, discard it, I know the boards and was cheatingggggg ! :). But I always make sure to score 25 if I play against myself, seems fair

[@cricrinho]

I don't agree with "of course we X". X might be better, but it's very marginal. What more do we have than we have shown ? I showed 3 cards support and invitational, I have exactly that and not a very defensive hand. Anyway, I thinkg it's an interesting problem, as I mentioned, I think pass is right, but I might be wrong indeed.

@@cricrinho You could be right, but of the celebs who had the option of doubling S (you, Gavin, John S, Keith K, Danny), the only one who didn’t penalise 4S was Gavin - and that was because Gavin penalised 3S :)

[@cricrinho]

@@grahamlucy6627 Gavin had decided to only bid 2H, which changes everything. He now had a super maximum and his double is automatic. It's a lot about what we had shown before. Gavin's action actually shows that he values the hand even less in a way, as he only bid 2H.

B1: "I should pass. Pass is the right bid" So I made the right bid: too bad 2/1 Lia North didn't double. Is it because of your SEF system, or because I made the 2S cue bid limit raise instead of 2NT?

[@cricrinho]

That's a question for Luc. I don't know :( . But probably that yes. I think I just got lucky to be fair

5 draws... not much really interesting here
