7th Feb – Board 19: East/West Vul. Dealer South. I liked West’s bidding when I saw this hand being played at one table. Shame it turned out so badly.
After West elected to pass, North/South reached game in no time at all with South’s 4
♥ bid being just right. But what would you do as West? ‘Take some money by doubling’ is the correct response although I think that is really hard and the chosen bid of 4NT – super unusual – was the bid chosen and the one that I would have made too. Unfortunately 5
♣ is a bad contract and one that didn’t make but give East the ten of diamonds instead of the nine and it just relies on the finesse being through the opening bidder. And of course 4
♥ is a couple down all the time.
