Help
... at least in challenges. In the last few weeks I noticed that at least some deals are being repeated. At first I thought I imagine it and they were just very similar, but now I am sure. Played a couple of rather memorable hands - as soon as I realized it is the same deal, I could place every card and did not misplay it this time.
I'm rather shocked by this, as well as disappointed.

Deals are not random...

That's amazing!!
Can you provide the links to these hands - or at least a few of them.
Are you sure this wasn't the weekly free instant tournament?

Of course I'm sure it wasn't an instant tournament - I don't even play those.
The problem with links is that I don't know how to search my history for specific hands, and I play a lot of hands... So while the second occurence is right in front me, I don't know how to find the 1st one. Anyway, here is a hand I played today:
tinyurl.com/2asjjhe2
As soon as I bid I was kicking myself for not bidding 4H. Less so after I saw dummy. But then I saw that the best line must be to win immediately, unblock C A and try to endplay W in trumps, so that he has to give me an entry to dummy. This jogged my memory, because it is such an interesting hand. I remembered that the first time I did bid 4H and went down, when I played W for DQ (I did guess singleton Q, but up D J, when W played a low D). So this time I knew immediately after the lead that E has singleton Q H and doubleton D Q. And made 11 tricks.

Here is another one:

After the D lead, I was marking time, cashing hearts and trying to figure out which finesse to take
for the 9th trick. Until E discarded S8, which in the robot system should be encouraging (I think).
This jogged my memory: the first time I played the hand I believed E and so played W for the singleton KC (the only chance, I thought). So this time I knew W has both black kings, and KC is single.
But it sure takes a lot of fun away when one can know these things, even if only sometimes.
