- Mikael Rimstedt's bidding problem: AJ652 AKJ873 T3 ---
- One problem with a direct 6♥ is that if they do cash two diamonds, your partner and teammates are not going to be happy with you.
- Andy Caranicas's lead problem: A3 9653 K82 T632
- I led ♠A at the table which in theory allows declarer to make 4. The only lead that holds it to 3 is a ♣. I was wondering if people would lead a ♣ from this holding. Apparently not.
- Perfect GSF Hand
- 5♣ as exclusion rather than 5NT would allow you to get out in 5♥ in the extremely unlikely event that opener has neither ♥ honor.
- Carl Mathiesen's bidding problem: AK9 74 KQ3 AQ765
- I start with a double followed by some number of NT, depending on what happens.
- To Beer or Not to Beer?
- I find bridge goes better when partner is happy with me. I will co-operate every time, especially since my most frequent partner doesn't drink beer so I'd be off the hook anyway.

- How do you play 6!C
- As the cards lay almost any reasonable line works, but this is the line that I took. RHO won ♣Q and played another spade. I ended up establishing the long heart for my 12th trick. I just didn't know if the first round club finesse was best or even ...
- How do you play 6!C
- Updated to show auction, vulnerability, and E play to T1.
- Todd Holes's bidding problem: AK 43 A42 KQ9864
- I pass and come in later. If there is no later, then I'll be happy with my +200 or so.
- What’s the best Contract?
- People open lighter now as mentioned above, but I think W has a clear 1♠ opener. And when was last time you held a 20-count opposite partner's opening hand and stopped below slam?
