mb|3D|nt|pelu:  could be firework - or misunderstandings :):)|pg||
nt|mrdct:  double fit in @d & @S could produce many tricks for EW|pg||
mb|p|nt|pelu:  as kibs say: 1 is very straight and the other (Zia) fast and loose :)|pg||
nt|mrdct:  in 6@d the J9 get tapped on @H leads - but 6@S seems OK|pg||
mb|4D|mb|p|nt|pelu:  6@d also: u ruff 2 @hs and give up @dK|pg||
nt|mrdct:  that would be 2 losers peter|pg||
mb|4S|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|pc|cK|pc|c2|nt|pelu:  sorry - more coffee - STRONG for me - I cant count :(:(|pg||
nt|mrdct:  back to reality - EW have 20 points between them and slam is quite poor here - so normality prevails|pg||
nt|mrdct:  now we can examine the challenges to take 10 tricks|pg||
nt|mrdct:  in some respects it's easier to play 6@s|pg||
nt|pelu:  tx kibs - many of u will help me with strong coffee - tx!|pg||
nt|mrdct:  as you need both suits breaking and both key cards onside so quite slim - but you have to play for it|pg||
nt|kareno:  normally in a new partnership each tries to avoid problems for the other|pg||
pc|c8|pc|cA|pg||
nt|mrdct:  there is no quite entry back to hand so will only be able to ruff 1 @c and that may be at the expense of picking up @SQ onside|pg||
pc|d9|pc|d3|pc|d2|pc|d6|pg||
nt|pelu:  now back to table - 5@d for sure best game - some traps in 4@s|pg||
nt|kareno:  Well I won the NABC mixed teams in two new partnerships|pg||
nt|mrdct:  unlikely that south has @DK now as if south had @DKx or @DKxx he might win and try to give a ruff|pg||
nt|pelu:  but u are so good Karen!|pg||
nt|pelu:  and thats no joke for sure|pg||
nt|mrdct:  so with south lookijng to have 1 or 2 @D - a bit more likely he has @SQ with his 2@C opening|pg||
pc|hJ|pc|hQ|pc|h2|nt|kareno:  so was my partner Drew Casen|pg||
pc|h6|pg||
pc|d4|nt|pelu:  easier to play 6!Â§s! in slam u cant go wrong :)|pg||
pc|dQ|nt|mrdct:  hmm - might fall apart now with @C continuation|pg||
pc|s3|pc|dJ|pg||
pc|hA|pc|s2|pc|h4|pc|h3|pg||
nt|mrdct:  i think @C would've beaten it|pg||
nt|kareno:  yes|pg||
nt|pelu:  but do Duboin trust that S just have given him the contract?|pg||
pc|sA|pc|s6|pc|s9|nt|mrdct:  a @c continuation would've stopped a @s finesse and got rid of a potential entry to the @d suit|pg||
