North is very . . . let's use erratic instead of bad.


Typical club game. NS consistently finish in bottom quartile.

Your call.

I'd pass. If we have a small slam, we may still be able to get -4. While we very likely have a game, -2 seems just as likely.

I'm expecting the punchline to be that N has 7♠/5♦, S also has 5♦ and that you can only make 3♠, 1♣ and maybe a ♦ in defence while you can make 5 or 6♥, but I'd pass.

I know a player who fits the description of North. Last time she opened 2♠ against me, she had nine (yes, nine) spades.

So N gets his 2 long ♠s, with absolutely no hope of any other trick. -1700

The traveller shows a couple of 1520s, 2 1020s, a 520 and a 420.

Unfortunately, partner did not find a PASS, choosing 3♠ instead. I responded 6♦, he converted to 6NT and I can't go on.

My opponents had problems finding pass cards when I used to play a relay system. I used to lend them some of mine but I guess doing so to partner might give away some UI.

If N makes 2 tricks you've misdefended. Cash one spade, 2 diamonds, 3 hearts and 2 clubs then give partner his club ruff with 3 spades to come.

Oy. Now I feel even worse. :P However, this explains why deep finesse was putting 6 under the ♠s column for EW.

With one ace? You must be on drugs. Just pass, collect your 800. Why does everyone think we are making slam? We have all this wastage in their suit, partner only made a takeout double...

Agreed, and if you are thinking slam, find a way to check on aces first.
