Husband/Partner has stolen Dementor Robert away from me. They play together on occasion when I am otherwise occupied with other partners. They had a bad day today with one shining bright spot. Robert opened 2 clubs. Partner/Husband had 2 jacks and a queen and, following their system, bid 2 hearts showing no ace or king. The 2 hearts was doubled, presumably a lead directing double, and Robert passed. Husband/partner didn't see the double card and passed. He was in 2 Hearts with 2 Hearts in his hand and 2 in dummy. He made the contract. He tried to tell me how he did it. Something about running the Ace, King, Queen in 2 other suits which happened to split well and then trumping something with the 2 in his hand and the ace on the board bringing in the eighth trick. The traveler showed all other pairs in 3 NT going down one.
After hearing that story, I truly believe that in this game ANYTHING at all is possible.
Your blogs really lift my spirit.
