This looks like a ghoulash hand, but was dealt on a MP ACBL BridgeBaseOnline tourney.
Sitting in first seat, I opened FIVE DIAMONDS, LHO surprised by this bid an immediate FIVE SPADES. This came around, and I offered partner a choice at the SIX level by introducing my second suit. SIX CLUBS. In retrospect, this would have been the best spot, but when this zany bidding was doubled, partner showed preference to SIX DIAMONDS. This was doubled too. When they did not find the defense of Ace of clubs and club ruff, and instead laid down the wrong ace, I ruffed, drew trump and claimed.

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!!
