mb|p|nt|MarekW: http://www.poznan2011.pl/|pg||
nt|rcerreto: also @s after the lead could provide a discard|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|nt|rcerreto: 3NT would have asked for a @h lead|pg||
nt|rcerreto: to set|pg||
mb|1C!|nt|daman: a lovely 1NT opener    good thing Kokish isn't watching|pg||
mb|1S|nt|hedyg: 1 other table played 3NT and got a K@D lead for 11 tricks and top score|pg||
nt|jbgood: and I wouldnt be surprised if NS play Polish Club...|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: Polish club likely here|pg||
nt|bobholl: 9 tricks in NT|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: NS are playing Polish Club|pg||
nt|bobholl: and 5 in @C so pushed board probably|pg||
nt|rcerreto: what's your choice Bob with N cards?|pg||
mb|1N|mb|2N|nt|rcerreto: would you open 1@c or what?|pg||
nt|bobholl: 2@C and then 3@C but i play that as semi and 2@D as the biggest bid|pg||
nt|rcerreto: 2NT shows 4+ card support in @s and a good hand|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: There was an alert on W side for the 2NT bid, which was lacking on the EN side|pg||
mb|3N|nt|hedyg: balanced hand :) no voids!|pg||
nt|daman: words cannot express how I feel about that 1NT bid|pg||
mb|p|nt|hedyg: feel similar about the 4@H bid?|pg||
mb|p|nt|daman: ditto|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: Or at least i missed it|pg||
nt|bobholl: n doesn't know S also had @H so brave it is :)|pg||
nt|rcerreto: 4@s would be a worthwhile sacrifice|pg||
nt|rcerreto: but then N can bid 5@c|pg||

nt|murat: yes|pg||
nt|rcerreto: at times is right, at times is not|pg||
nt|bobholl: i never cue a singleton in P suit he expects too much :)|pg||
nt|rcerreto: I don't think there could be a "right" answer to that|pg||
mb|2N!|mb|p|nt|jbgood: a kib insists that 2@d is 12+ artificial - so...|pg||
nt|april7: in this case, they might settle for 7@D and not 7NT|pg||
mb|3H|mb|p|mb|4H|nt|jbgood: my kib says: it is natural AND 12+|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: 2@D was 12+ GF with 5+@D|pg||
nt|april7: 4@S-5@H-6@C-6@Hn and so on|pg||
mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|gites: N is actual U21 World Champion from Philadelphia|pg||
nt|rcerreto: surely you can when there's a trick source on side|pg||

pc|s5|nt|runnerup: some minimal chances because bear card to make this|pg||
nt|rcerreto: well, back to the current deal|pg||
nt|bobholl: wow this helps|pg||
pc|sQ|nt|jbgood: sry about my attempt to mislead the audience...|pg||
nt|april7: and what is 5@C??|pg||
nt|april7: so 3@D was BW???|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: 2NT 17-18 BAL|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: 3@D = 4@H|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: 4@D = @D fit|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: 4@H RKCB on @D|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: 4@S 0/3|pg||
nt|april7: what about Q of @D asking??|pg||
nt|jbgood: tu Michael!|pg||
nt|april7: now W must bid 6@C and E 7@D|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: 5@C Grand Slam attempt with all key cards and @DQ, asking for side kings|pg||
pc|s7|pc|s4|pg||
nt|april7: only because of J of @H!!!|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: Explainations by player E|pg||
nt|april7: in 7@D you don't need J of !J!!!|pg||
nt|runnerup: biercard not bear this time|pg||
pc|hA|nt|april7: @H*|pg||
pc|h7|nt|april7: I wonder which card was missing for E???|pg||
nt|april7: perhaps 6@D denied K of @C|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: 6@D denied kings|pg||
pc|h2|pc|h5|pg||
nt|daman: 10 tricks for EW|pg||
pc|h4|pc|dT|nt|april7: so 6@C would have been the right bid!!!!|pg||
pc|hQ|nt|rcerreto: S had to choose among several unappealing leads|pg||
nt|rcerreto: he chose one of the wrong ones|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: Each one was wrong|pg||
pc|hK|pg||
nt|bobholl: as akib remarks every lead helps :(|pg||
nt|rcerreto: maybe @c didn't hurt|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: Oh, true, missed that.|pg||
nt|bobholl: he'd better duck the @H one exit less needed|pg||
nt|rcerreto: but I think it always makes|pg||
nt|rcerreto: S has a very bad time any time he gets the lead|pg||
nt|murat: yes true. even on club lead he makes|pg||
nt|rcerreto: the @s will provide some discards, in due time|pg||
nt|bobholl: but not losing a@S at all helps :)|pg||
nt|rcerreto: oh yes :)|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: Do i see right, or the declarer makes 11 if S doesn't cut off one of the dummy entries now?|pg||
nt|rcerreto: think so|pg||
nt|bobholl: that's rigth so one of the K's necessary now|pg||
nt|rcerreto: but then you get anyway squeezed|pg||

mb|p|mb|1N|mb|p|mb|3N|nt|hedyg: ok in 3rd seat you do as you like!|pg||
nt|hedyg: of course in 1st or 2nd he would not open 3NT with an outside ace|pg||

nt|barbyh: 3nt plays very well|pg||
pc|c2|nt|gites: Vu, any TD's decision in  28 ?|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: Will probably stay, but not decided yet.|pg||
nt|runnerup: problem can be in loosing 2 @h 2@d and @s q|pg||
nt|vugraphplf: W said the pause was minor but probably noticeable, and I confirmed that.|pg||
pc|cK|pc|cA|pc|c9|pg||
