We started very differently here. I made 3NT on the first board by playing the other way up. Diamond lead gave me an extra stopper, then I dropped the doubleton queen of hearts in an attempt to set up the ten. I then could afford to lay down the clubs from the top, losing to the king. Then I just conceded last two tricks. I also played board 4 in NT the other way up on a spade lead. When I lost a club trick to east another spade through meant I lost 6 tricks.
Happy New Year's one and All. Thanks. I started with a zero once and ended up winning, my partner better than me, said, do not fear the bottom, let it go.
Happy New Year to all.... Pete, thanks for all of the knowledge you have shared!!!
thanks for the great instruction through 2024 :)
Pete,
You are the best.
Thank you.

1. If you double and bid clubs, you can right-side 3NT.
Nice to hear the live question on how Best Hand conditions affect play and bidding.
Happy New Year Pete!
Happy new year. Looking forward to more of these videos in 2025 already :)
