One of those hands...
Aug. 16th, 2006 10:55 pmPlaying as East, both sides vulnerable:
S:AQJT9xxx
H:A
D:Kx
C:Ax
South passes. I open 4S, and we make exactly.
Why, you ask? There are 7 trump winners with, say, the Q forcing the K, and AQJT9 is enough to force them all out, even if one opponent has all five. The two aces take, and the K almost certainly takes, and partner may have something (though getting over there will be tricky.
It was glorious. I also went 3-0 on the night, which helps.
