How To Bid Over Preempts - Weekly Free

[@TheArb1]

B1. I've started getting very aggressive on B1 and B8 (all green) on WFIT as robots rarely double and don't raise when they should as here, so 2S overcall then double of 3D on next round in case pd has 5 hearts for 3SS -3 for -150, 57%. B2 2N or 3H? I chose the latter for +140, well played you in 3NT. B3 Same B4 Same B5 Sometimes you can't fight the boss suit, defended 3S, CA lead rather than CK which seemed to confuse pd, heart switch, pd wins and returns C9!, dec finessed SQ for -140 57% B6 1H:2D:2H:3C:3D:3S:4N:5D:6H 75% B7 I opened a very offbeat 1NT so missed the heart fit and played in NT for 6 tricks and a poor 39%. B8 For reasons as in B1 I doubled 2S pd bid 3D then 4D and I got to defend 4S. CT lead, diamond off dummy, I won DK, returned a club, dec won, played another club, ruffed by pd, HJ won by HA, diam ruff, ST off dummy (no cover) to SQ and SA and SJ was setting trick for d1 100%. 65% for the set.

well done - it looks like your aggression paid off mostly.

WTF were you doing not bidding 2 hearts on board 7 ?

[@andyeastwood71]

This could be my worst set ever. I duplicated your 4 bad boards, and added a couple of my own. I doubled 3S on B5 and CHO passed it, making. And I messed up B4. For some reason RHO did not pop the ace when I played a heart up and I put the jack in, losing 2 heart tricks for a poor score. I did make 3NT on board 2, helping me to a massive 45% overall

unlucky - you cant win them all and you have been on a hot streak. It is easy to mess up boards when you already have undeserved bad scores.

Board 1: I doubled 3D hoping partner to have Jxxxx of hearts and another card, and ended in 3S. Thankfully undoubled as the defense was brutal taking the first 7 tricks. -150 ended up being a fairly good board though. Board 2: I pretty much did the same thing, but chose not to cash the spade. This led to West giving me the heart suit, but exiting in spades meaning i got an extra heart instead of the king of diamonds. Board 3: I did the same thing, I wondered about opening it 2C planning to rebid 2NT though. Board 4: I chose to take the spade finesse and then when it failed tried to set up the hearts. When I played a heart to hand, East popped up, and then the king later dropped the queen, so I had a discard, so still 10 tricks. Board 5: It felt borderline, but I doubled 3S, partner left it in, and declarer took the finesse, so that made. Board 6: I bid 6NT. I felt it was just too likely this had 12 top tricks. Board 7: I bid 2H, decided it was going to be too hard to defend and partner seemed to have short spades. I mistimed the diamonds and spades halfway through the hand and only made 9 tricks. Board 8: I let the diamond win, and partner switched to clubs. They won that in dummy, crossed over in hearts, and then played a spade and partner popped up. 10 tricks. A quick look at the board after, and overtaking and playing a second diamond looks interesting. Now I think declarer has to play North to have started with Ax, even if south inserts the jack on the second round, or else there is a trump promotion coming.

I think board 5 is really unlucky as your partner is mental for passing 3S. B6. I guess there is a good chance you have 12 top tricks but I was unsure about that with how much my partner was signing off but I guess it is still a good choice. B8 is a pretty interesting position.
