You don’t often get a
chance to repeat a bid twice in a row, but it happened Saturday with Beverly
Dale. After aforementioned Board 25 (Blog 809-A), Beverly opens one Diamond,
guaranteeing at least four of them, on Board 26 after a pass by East, the
dealer. West doubles, if I remember correctly, and I bid 2 Diamonds.
Spades: 6-5; Hearts:
J-10; Diamonds: K-Q-J-6-3; Clubs: Q-8-5-2.
Beverly pushes to 4
Diamonds in competitive bidding and I,
not wanting to miss game twice in a row, bid 5 Diamonds. I should have known
better. West, Ron Henrikson, doubles. We go down two for minus 500 and a bottom
board. Here are the other hands:
South
Spades: K-10-4-3;
Hearts: A-4; Diamonds: A-10-9-8-5; Clubs: 7-3.
East
Spades: J-9-8; Hearts:
9-8-6-5-3-2; Diamonds: 7; Clubs: K-10-4.
West
Spades: A-Q-7-2;
Hearts: K-Q-7; Diamonds: 4-2; Clubs: A-J-9-6.
At the other tables, 4
Diamonds doubled went down one and two East-Wests were allowed to take the bid
for 2 Hearts, making three overtricks.
