The cards were lying favorably; do you see it?

I am ashamed to share this deal because I blew it. On a non heart lead, you have to play for the only chance, a red-suit endplay strip-squeeze and it works! On a heart lead when the Jack forces the ace, you are forced to play for H:KJ tight. Quite an amazing deal.

And the bidding? A sedate two clubs game forcing would get you, if you were aggressive to the slam. You would play it better than me.

Welcome to Ramesh's BRIDGE BLOG

In these pages, I comment on hands from Bridge Base Online ACBL tourneys. I play in these with a variety of partners with different degrees of skill. I might present a hand or two from my collection of bridge books, every now and then. I am more interested in play and defense than in complex bidding systems, but I do follow the cut and thrust of Vanderbilt and World Championship Vugraph and try to keep abreast of expert practice in the obstructive and constructive bidding system department. I may also feature, newspaper-style, famous hands from important matches that I saw on Vugraph.

NOTE: For JUNE, I am experimenting with adding BBO's Handviewers, which make bridge movies embedded. Just
scroll down beyond the few sampled book covers and you arrive at the blogs that play themselves with the NEXT button. THANKS, BBO!!
