Second Indy

I started off with some huge boards, then tapered off.

Finished up again over 50% - 52.43%, tied for 17th of 52. Not bad.

Board 2.
partner:
J6
AT8
KJ7
KT542

me:
832
KJ752
32
AJ3

The bidding (partner dealt):
1C P 1H X
P 1NT P 2D
all pass

This was a bad board for us - 2 hearts, 3 clubs, even 2NT seemed to score better. At the time, I wondered if we were wimps for selling out too easily.

In retrospect, though, I'm not sure who should be moving.

Board 10: partner opens 1 spade. I held:
832
J54
AQ543
K7

Should I bid 2 spades? 3 spades? Something else? I opted for 2 spades, which was a losing choice when 4 spades made.

Board 12.
The bidding, with me sitting in 4th position:
1S P 2H 3C
4S all pass

Dummy comes down:
J8
AJT965
K875
7

I held:
6
Q7
AQJ432
AQ53

I won partner's 9 of clubs lead with the jack, declarer playing the ten. I exited a spade, but I think cashing the ace of diamonds is required. Dummy looks to have very runnable hearts, and I know declarer has a massive spade suit. If I don't get my winners now, I may never do so.
