Here's three hands from yesterday's Swiss Teams where we generally played OK, but simply had too many disasters or opponents getting away with things and finished with a very disappointing score. (I must admit I don't normally like to fill the forum full of threads but 1 hand per thread seems to be the norm.)

We'll start with this:



Can you bid this to the cold 6♠?

In part 2 we'll look at how to concede YET ANOTHER doubled game. Stay tuned!

Not even close. passed around to north then

3♠ - 4♣
4♦ - 4♠

and I would call a further move by north something else besides inspired

My auction starts (3♣)-P-(P)-3♠; (P)-4♣

After 4♣, I'm just keycarding with the N hand, that's what I want to know/can reasonably find out, after all, and I can't really have a better hand for bidding only 3♠.

I bid 4D as leaping Michaels as North, but we didn't get there.

After the same 3C opening bid passed round to North, our opponents bid

3S - 4C
4D - 4S
4NT - 5H (dbl)
6S

teammates had a different problem, it started P P 2H dbl 4H, they also got to slam

Thanks for replies all. Team-mates faced this problem and bid

(3C)-p-(p)-X
(p)-4C*-(p)-4S (4C was "pick a major")
all p,

while at our table South made a very aggressive direct 4C over 3C and North just jumped to 6S.
