The ugly
I perpetrated a inverted minor raise and then drove to slam gambling on unpromised diamond length given my slam controls. Surely there are better methods to ensure diamond nine card fit. I should have responded 1H; that would have resulted in an auction that would provide assurance that partner had a real diamond suit.
The optimistic
Yes I have aces and kings, and this time a five carder, but I still had to read the heart lead and continuation. Lucky no ruff.
The systemic
I wheel in Soloway, just so that I can hand over the slam inquiring business and naming of suit to partner. This was perhaps the worst suit length/quality I can ever hold for a Soloway, but partner came up with a 4-card fit
Partner whom I had shown the deal had this to say: "the play was weird. As the cards lie there is no squeeze, but one should surely ruff the last diamond and play for a club-heart squeeze (Vienna Coup) for the overtrick"
