I believe an extra trick can be made and someone managed to make 6 spades - I would have been more than happy in 4 of anything
It really does make you think slam though

EDIT Correction. Nobody made 6 spades. I am thinking of the person who made 4spades+3 after a wonderfully underbid (but highly prescient) preempt

I hope, despite the beautiful South hand why I felt unhappy when dummy (declarer) went down on the table

What do you reckon. Simulation error. An unlucky seed

Hi,

# 3H instead of 2S, you have discovered a fit.
I am not sure, that you have a chance with the GIBs to find out, if the diamond control is missing,
but setting trumps early is making life simpler, even when playing with the GIBs.

# I dont be believe, that the 3H bid in your auction promises 3 card heart supp.

With kind regards

In a better system, 3H (instead of 2S) would fix trumps and invite Italian style control-bidding, now it is automatic to stop in 4H once the lack of diamonds control emerges.
