Board 1; there is a double squeeze... but only if you can get the robots to misdefend. Trick 2; lead C3 to Ace - finesse definitely isn't working so catering for possible QJ doubleton with East - then a 3rd club. East wins & exits a diamond to West's 10 who then erroneously leads the Queen back, and not the 7. East is now left to guard Diamonds, West is guarding Spades, and nobody can guard the Hearts.
In the same spot on every board apart from the last where I stopped in 4D and also made 11. Only difference is I made board 2 and was one off on board 3
board 5: worst or first play--opening 1 spade in 3rd seat got the opponents to settle in 4 hearts instead of trying 1 spade doubled; which wasn't good for them
70% is okay, but it was not a strong field this week. I was 78% and Pete out-classed me on hand #3. He misplayed both 1NT hands and I discussed hand 5 in another comment. He should have been over 80%.
Agree; 1S looked pretty appealing in 3rd seat with this hand. Surprised Pete didn't even consider it. Playing in 1Sx wouldn't have been much fun, but instead oppo get to a poor 4H contract..

Thanks for the insight.

#5 in 3rd position, open 1S there. That led to 100%.
that's what he did
@@guyredares No, he opened 1D.

Why did you ruff a club on board 8? You can make 12 tricks if you don't.
B4 4S-2 double dummy
