Happy to give it a whirl, Elmo! I'm no expert myself; only been playing a year or so.

I seem to have managed to delete my hand from my PM inbox. I have a PM in to StrangerCoug momentarily to get a copy so I stop holding up play. Sorry about that...

Yeah, like Thurhame said, as long as you have a way in hand to get to the good tricks on the board I'm fine with the claim. Too lazy to figure it out right now.

In post 306, Mitillos wrote:I think it might have gone a bit differently if JDGA had played her third heart, after the King. Or perhaps not.

Either way, well done on this hand opponents, and well done to us partner (and previous partner, if he ever sees this), on the final score.

I don't think so, IIRC, as I had the queen stopper post-king lead regardless. I might have ducked the heart instead of the diamond, but I had to risk the second spade finesse either way, and the third heart lead would have made me more confident that I could risk it, actually, as the odds of dybeck not bidding over 1D with five hearts led by the king with eight points would have been pretty low.
