My luckiest typo to date

So, when I had stuck my neck out on a ratty Axxxx minor suit because of my overall strength, and lack of 4 cards in the other major for a double, my robot partner was firmly with the action till four diamonds (always a dangerous bid, because, where are we headed?).

Sure enough, LHO bid 4H vulnerable.

I was in a fix.

I was playin online prone, head propped on a pillow, laptop on my chest. I said, ahhhhhh,… touch choices… We may have positive equity I may double them into game. I am going to pass having got myself into this fix, I said and… made the mistake of closing my eyes as I hit “PASS” electronically in passout seat.

I open my eyes, and in disbelief, partner has had a bid? WHAT????

Turns out I had hit the double button...

When spades broke horrendously proving my 5D X -1 was a good save, I realize that my best online bridge action to date is …. …. A typo while prone.

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!!
