Is It Good To Reverse - Weekly Free

[@welshrabbit5]

congratulations on #400- fantastic content.

On board 6, after ducking the first heart, if you play low on the second round of diamonds and leave the 10 in dummy, the robots duck and allow you to win the trick. This allows you to make 11 tricks if you can find a 4th spade trick, which comes naturally when you play them out.

Great finish! With strong 1=4=4=4 hands I like to open 1D, rebid 2C (assuming partner bid the most likely 1S), then over partner’s preference to 2D rerebid 2H. It’s basically natural bidding to show 1444 with about 16-18 HCP.

Thank you for this. Seeing it written out really clarifies it for me. This was a kind of a blind spot before. I suppose you will occasionally miss game if partner has the wrong 9-count but it is probably a better sequence in general.

Congrats on 400! I was hoping to beat you on this one but ended up with the exact same score

[@joeylam.827]

Love the play on the last board! (Despite accidentally blocking your own trumps xD)

[@jonthomson5764]

Did get to slam on 3 by bidding 3NT on the third round and then accepting the quant invite, fortunate make to be sure. The rest was bad with the 1N overcall on 4, 2C overcall on 5 and then passing 3C on 6, at least made 12 tricks on 7 but not in slam, then same spot as you on 8 but misplaying it and going down

I'm sending them to them. They aren't posting (I don't think it is on purpose though), I should harass them more.

[@deborahdawes7767]

@@BridgeWithPete Please do harass them! I miss seeing them there, I find them very valuable. I can find them here, but still...Thanks!

1. I bid 6NT figuring that either hearts or diamonds would be runnable but gave up on slam on #7. *shrug* 3. I did reverse, but it ended up taking 3NT off the table. 4H was a decent IMP contract, but not great in MPs. I see why 2C may be superior.

[@charlescosgrove9507]

On #8, I was playing it as 3NT when the bot trumped the my last club and then I realized we were in spades instead. Oops, went down one for that mistake.

@@charlescosgrove9507 didn't we talk about this very thing last week?

[@charlescosgrove9507]

@@jyutzler Yep, I guess I need to add a "verify the contract" step before playing.

[@anipi100]

board 6, same bidding, same play and I ducked, they switched to the diamond, same cards, they won and returned the heart not another diamond! Same tricks taken just strange with exactly the same play the robots do different.
