Distribution = Strength

Lest this blog become simply a collection of my failings (and believe me, I'm making a lot more mistakes than are showing up here), here's a hand from yesterday's Beginner/Intermediate Lounge Indy Tourney.

2nd hand, I held:
void
KQJ654
3
K87643

I simply could not let myself be held out of the auction. I chose hearts, and decided to bid clubs next round, even if things got high.

P 1H 2S 3D
4S 5C P 6C
X P P P

As it turned out, 3D was a misclick, and the slam was colder than penguins. On the King of Spades lead, partner laid down:

2
AT8
KJ84
AJT92

Win 12.5 IMPs, on my way to 3rd place out of 20.
