The 7-5 hand is easy if you play the right stuff. Respond 1 Diamond. Over partner's 1 Heart, bid 2 Spades natural and strong. Over 1 partner's 1 Spade, bid 4 Diamonds, the Strong Explicit Slam Indicator. Over partner's notrump rebid, bid spades.
I wish I could get to his real web site. Doing all these, must be helping him when he plays Bridge for real. For it establishes everything he knows already. But it is good to be reinforced ..
I'm stopping at 13:08 here. to comment before I see the cards. From my perspective her you did bid the two bids I was afraid of, which I mean is one of the worst possible ways you could bid this hand. You stop yourself from finding all the slams, and you get in the same contract as I do the times I got poor answers from my partner. I would not bid 1spade here, I would double to show strength, I can't decribe the immense strength of this hand, no way it belongs under a 1spade overcall 8-15hp. does not make sense in my mind But let's say I bid 1 spade, there's so much I would love to do, 4spades is probably 10th priority or below.. Maybe I'm exaggarating, but I'm so against bidding the hand this way I don't know the site you play on, might be there's no system for 4clubs here. If it was cue I would bit it to look for a 4heart bid from my partner. I would bid 4c if it was taken as single or void. and again look for the 4H from my partner. in both cases where that does not happen, it's fine to play 4spades, I don't love it as 6 spades is very easy on a lot of distributions. If I was playing a simpler system with an unknown partner, I would definetly use my opponents colours here. like Bidding 3diamonds. I don't need help in it ofcourse, but it's a bid that asks partner to bid 3NT with diamond strength, which I know he does not have. And in the cases he does not have it, 2nd priority is showing strength in Hearts by bidding 3 hearts. It's not 4 cards, we did agree spades over the 1 spade 2spades. If my partner bids 3spades, I know we don't have the Ace of hearts. my partner promises me we don't have the ace of hearts, which make the contract harder to find 6spades home.. There is distributional strength here, that we likely got Diamond length to throw Clubs and hearts loosers on. Worst case, my partner has short diamonds like 0 or 1. and I wil lhave to do some cross ruff without losing tempo and trumph control. From here I'd probably still ask in BLW, and gamble in 6spades if my partner got 1 without the queen. I know it's not the Heart, It's likely the 1 club opener has the club ace and partner got the king of spades, and if not. Well then I need to finesse for it. My preferred way of bidding would probably go something like 1c-p-1d-x 2c-p-p-2sp p-3sp-p-5c p- I'm showing strong hand, 5+ spades, and Exlusion in clubs. I don't know the amount of aces yet, but I will lift to 7 spades if I get 2 key cards here. (spade king and heart). and 6spades if missing 1. 5 spades if missing 2 key cards Now I will continue to watch, I did not even watch the first game. Had to see the thumbnail hand. Love these challenges!! :)
so I would be 1 down. not lucky with having 2 diamonds in partners hand, would be lovely if it was 1 or even better with 0. King of spade offside, I would finesse immediatly and then play the ace of spade. hope to catch it doubleton which it was not. if it was we had 13 tricks here. unfortunately here it loses to it either way.. if no club lead , probably had to play heart to get out, lose a heart, and go with only 10tricks. There's multiple ways and endings to how this hand could play out. In this case i would get crushed, but I do hate 4 spades here. Feels like it would lose alot in the long run. But I'm likely wrong there..
Another nice thing about using the double cube on the hand at the 22:00 mark is it is a complete freeroll since you can't get demoted from club rank.

Those last 3 hands sure felt like more...
I like the teaser at the start
Hi Peter. I caught some of you on twitch. It looks like you missed a beer card on the hand about 11 minutes into the video :-)
I won't ever be getting that back :(
Hi Peter and thanks. Your volume is way lower than the ads....
