Sneaky Club entry - Challenge Pete

[@watchparty1]

I tied you on every single board. A worth opponent.

[@AdamWildavsky]

On board 2, it must be better to play a spade to the Ace at trick 4. I did that, but still made only 12 tricks because West went up with the cQ when I led the 5 from my hand. Nice defense!

And for everyone commenting on the system differences that lead to differences in bidding: maybe when the user clicks on Celebrity Daily, they should be told which system the champion is playing and given the option to change their Lia system to match. That would ensure you would have the same bidding sequences. With that said, on other days the default 2/1 system I play leads to better outcomes (and less questionable bidding from partner), so there's that.

I love how well you're able to comment on the play and your thought process as it unfolds, in a concise way. It makes both for more interesting watching and good learning. I tied you on your two "bad" boards, and lost the others. I wasn't sure how to show my 5-5 minors on B3, so I let them play in 4S. Down one, but not good enough when 5m is making. I'm curious on B5 why you elected to play 6D when it looked like 6N would be just as good, with your strong stoppers. Of course, as you predicted, we were off two aces, so it wasn't to be. HOWEVER, I got a friendly defense: W led a spade and E won it, and led back another spade, which I won peforce. If hearts had broken 4-2 or better, I would've had 2 spade tricks, 5 hearts, and 5 diamonds for the win! ...In reality, hearts broke 5-1 and I had to lose a club trick for down one. Sigh...

Love your videos….I usually do not do well on the daily challenge when you’re playing but scored 4 draws and 1 loss today. I ended up in 6N down 1 on the last hand. I misplayed the 6 C hand…so sad.

I also call foul on Bd. 2. Partner leaving me in 5♣️ on the same auction is plain nonsense.

[@rasern]

This set wasn't my day. 1. I appreciate you pointing out the alternative option here of bidding stayman with a light hand. I just passed 1N and played the percentage line. 2. I had the exact same auction you had...... until Lia passed my 5c sign off. Very irritating that we had the same throught process and I lost the board. I see your profile uses Gavin's system instead of 2/1, and this seems to cause differences in the robot bidding. A little offputting in a board-a-match format. 3. Lia didn't use puppet stayman for me. Again, must be a system difference. Got a spade lead, but wound back up with 10 tricks as well. 4. I gave the 4N bid a fleeting thought. You got more gusto than I do. Realizing partner has at most 1 spade is a good insight that I overlooked. You might have trouble ruffing a couple of clubs though. :) 5. I opened 2N, but still got to the 6d slam off two aces. Interesting enough, 4s did not show a diamond raise to Lia for me. I had to bid 5c to make a slam showing bid. Leading to an immediate 6d bid with that aceless hand. Don't you hate when you have no ace asking bids available?

[@geoffrey001010110]

Different systems sometimes lead to different results - playing weak NT on board 1, EW finished in 3S-1 for +50 to me and a loss - did nothing wrong, next time system difference could lead to a win, just how it goes

[@AdamWildavsky]

I bid and played as you did on board 3. I wonder whether East would have signaled with the c9 had we unblocked the 7 under the Ace.

[@ReneGrothmann]

I enjoy your videos and explanations. Keep it going, please. Scored 4 draws, and lost one against your 6C because I failed to read the "slam interest" tag on 4C. Hand 3 was interesting. Why does Lia bid 1NT - 2C on my table and 1NT - 3C on yours? Did you change the default 2/1 system? I spoiled this hand by trying the 10S in the first trick. Then Lia helped me by ducking the 10C, which it covered on your table. Strange. Last hand was also interesting. I opened 2NT and then had no choice than jump to 6D myself, because partner made an unreasonable 4D "small interest".

[@jyutzler]

WFIT?

[@BridgeWithPete]

coming out shortly - had to do it later because of the BBO update.

[@darrencotterell7479]

My partner didn't bid 6C on board 2 after same auction. Are you playing a different system?
