Scoring: MP

1♠-(1NT*)-X-(XX**)
P-(2♣)-X-AP
* Polish NT: 4 hearts + 5 in a minor
**: "please bid your minor partner"

Your partner dealt and opened, and you decided to go for all the matchpoints (agree?).

Btw, the play of this hand was also pretty interesting, maybe I will post about it later.

Man, would I ever rather bid game (NT for sure cos S is a bad bet as the probable 4-1 split and C lead will make you run out of trump.) than choose to defend. P has 5-3-4-1 and controls the pointy suits while you have the round ones with lots of fillers and pushers. Their distribution argues for a trump lead, but P will never figure you for Qxx of S so you better put a low S on the table...... :)

Hi,

if I get it right, we are green versus red.

low spade, trying to start a gorcing defence.

I am not really exited about the bidding, because
we have a fit, and we will need to beat them -2,
to be 100% sure, that we will get a top.

I would just have bid 2H, showing an inv. raise
in spade, going after our own game.

The main problem ist, that most likly at the other table
our side will play spade, so that you created a top-null
situation, making the play nearly irrelevant.

With kind regards
Marlowe
