From Jim's session
« on: June 25, 2021, 10:28:34 PM »
It can be both fun and useful to go over hands. Here is one from Jim's session.

Ok, 6D is on ice. Long diamonds, 19 very well fitting high card points between us, and a well placed spade Q. I'm fine with 6D. Change partners majors so that the spades are A873 and the hearts are Aj73 and the slam gets iffy.


I gave the hand to the bots. They stopped in 3D! Ok, I can see that. Bots maybe don't fully appreciate eight card suits.

I just thought of the hand as worth saving.

Any comments?

Sample question. After my 3D, what would 3S mean? With two suits to worry about, spades and clubs here, often the agreement is that bidding one of those suits shows values in that suit.  If that were the case, and if it were understood, that would make it easy to avoid 3NT.

I think there are a fair number of questions that could arise from thhis hand.
