On board one could it be worth considering ducking the club at trick 1 instead since the lead can't be a singleton otherwise easy would have played the ten and can't be a 5 card suit since it's the lowest? And people tend to like playing another card in the suit when they win the first trick?
Hi, Pete, I religiously follow your posts here. They really help the game of a bridge gang here in Stockholm. Thank you very much! On our meetings outside of the team tournaments in our club St Erik (the biggest club in the world) we have monthly meetings where we try to teach ourselves to play better. We have wondered if it is possible in BBO to create the boards ourselves to enable discussions o various topics. I get the feeeling that you do that, but have no idea how it's done. Do you have any tips?
On #3, partner doubled with 5 hearts and we got a bad score because we didn't play for that possibility. On #2, I doubled because my spades were mediocre and languished in 3NT while the field was in slam. 🤷♂
That guy in 1S+6 was the silliest thing I think I've ever seen

I thought 2NT after the negative double on board 3 just denies 4 hearts. Didn't think it guarantees a stopper in spades.

You haven't considered penalizing the dbl in board 3?
not really. It could be the winning action but I don't see why I should try it.
I reasoned that all alternatives were worse. Turned out to be right
@@damianhgr4282 That's because your partner turns up with 3 spades. Give him a singleton and I doubt you would beat it
