I'm a self- taught Bridge player and your tutorials help me so much! I still have a long way to go, but you are helping. Thank you!

I was very happy with board 4. Also got to 4H with KS lead. I won and decided to take the diamond finesse, expecting to lose 10-20% MPs if it failed but gain more if it won. When it did, I got rid of both remaining spades. I then led a heart up. West won, and led a diamond so I had to ruff high. I then led a small club from table. East went up with the ace to give his partner a club ruff. On another diamond return, East ruffed with the 10, although it didn't matter at that point as I could always ruff one spade and discard the other on a club. Ten tricks and 100%. A bit of a shame I played both board 2 & 7 at IMPs, going for the thin spade game on the former, and taking a safety play on the latter which lost an extra trick (ducked two rounds of diamonds and then they switched to a club which I finessed to guarantee the contract if spades didn't break) . Still, apart from those two and the 46% on the last board, my lowest score was 78.6%

Congrats!

On board 5 I feel that taking the club finesse is worth it in 6C, when RHO has shown a very strong hand they're very likely to have KC and I'd expect a decent number of people to be in 6C which would make an overtrick relevant

"I expect they would have led ... nope!"

Board 1 I won A of diamonds and cashed the K (essentially a discovery play). After I discovered they break, I had 2 diamonds entries so I crossed and played a spade from dummy for the overtrick.
