Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Play 6H on board #1 from 1/28/19 common game
- I also got a club lead, played the queen and my inexperienced RHO covered. Now I ran my clubs and diamonds and caught LHO in a spade-heart squeeze, making 7.
- Blast from the past?
- I think that Dave left us in late 2009. I know that he attended my birthday party in April of that year.
- Age - JUST a Number!
- Dave Treadwell played at a high level right up to his death at age 97.

- The Death of 4-Session KO's

- Mine either, but I keep hoping.
- Jeff Ruben's bidding problem: T52 KQ2 K976 Q84
- FWIW, at the table I doubled, and partner bid 2H, holding Q763, A874, A4, K95. Making 3 with some help from the defense for a good score as those in 1NT took only 7 tricks. If I had passed, what should partner do? He likely would have passed, and we ...
- Mike Cassel's bidding problem: AKT763 3 A62 AQ3
- Roland, you must know my partners. Steve, my point was that as little as the right 5-count makes slam. Partner could easily have the king of diamonds or ace of hearts as well. Or, he could have the hand that Roland suggests, but either way bidding 3C should get you ...
