Yes, you've all rightsided 3N which the two pairs in our match didn't manage.
Their auctions were 1
♦-1
♥-3
♦-3N
The opposing hands were:
I was sorely tempted to double 3N with the N hand, but didn't.
Anyway, partner led a spade, I won the K and returned one, declarer played a heart to the 9 and 10, partner returned a diamond which declarer won, cashed the other top diamond discarding a club, played a heart to the Q and K, partner returned a club and the roof fell in, I played 3 rounds of clubs and we then took the rest, 3N-5.
I though this was a decent result until team mates managed to come back with 3N-6, I don't know how.
Has anybody seen more than 11 undoubled undertricks across 2 tables in a freely bid game ?
This deal was played about a year ago, so I don't remember the exact hands, but the distribution and high cards are correct. I was south and a complete beginner at the time and accidentally thought 2NT meant spades and a minor, so I bid 3
♠ and partner decided I was strong with spades and so raised. Our opponents gave us plenty of room for this disaster.
West led the ace of clubs and switched to a trump. East won the queen, cashed the ace, and ran the queen of hearts, followed by the nine and another to the ten. West cashed the ace of hearts, east discarding a diamond. West led his last heart and I ruffed, finessed in diamonds, and tried to cash the ace. East ruffed and my last trick was the jack of spades for down seven.
Partner entered the score, -700, in, but it was not a bottom board because someone went down 8.
Become yourself.
