Here's my one triumph against Stacy and George.  Not a particularly tricky hand, but a fun theme.

Playing with random BBO 'Advanced / basic sayc' partner, I picked up in 4th at unfavorable:

A94 / - / KT93 / AKQJ62

 

On the previous hand I'd held:

AJ6 / 3 / KQ74 / AKQ96

I wondered if we'd get the same auction (uncontested: 1C - 1S - 2D - 2N - 3S - 4S)

It started the same, I opened 1 Club in 4th, pard bid 1 Spade, but this time George (passed hand, of course) doubled.

I don't think support doubles are 'basic sayc' so I continued with 2 Diamonds.  Stacy passed and ...

so did my 'Advanced' partner.

Sigh.  Oh well, he MIGHT be justified in passing (maybe he has a 0-3 count and chose to bid 1 Spade for tactical reasons.)

Lo and behold, George now bid 2 Hearts!  Hmmm, that's a little strange.  He's a passed hand, Stacy's passed throughout, my partner's seemingly passed a forcing call and yet George isn't going quietly when we've stopped in one of the 2 suits he's shown.

Happy to have another chance to bid, I now bid 2 Spades (I considered 3 Spades, but I was pretty sure that if the auction didn't die in 2 Diamonds it wasn't going to die in 2 Spades either.)

Stacy now bid 3 Hearts.  My partner passed.  George passed.  I now finished describing my hand and bid 4 Clubs.  Perfect. 

Partner corrected to 4 Diamonds and I was planning to pass (ready to be wrong, but preferring to win the post-mortem) when George bid 4 Hearts.

Well, if partner can't double 3 Hearts, do I really want to defend 4 Hearts with a trump void?  And what's up with all this passed hand bidding?  You know what they say, at IMPs, when in doubt, bid one more for the road.  Who knows who can make what?  If pard has Qxxx of Diamonds and out, at least I should have play for down 1.

I bid 5 Diamonds.

Stacy led the 8 of Hearts and dummy was better than I deserved:

Q652 / T6 / A872 / 974

A94 / - / KT93 / AKQJ62

If Diamonds are 3-2, I'm cold for 6.  If not, it still shouldn't get TOO bloody.

I ruffed the Heart, led the King of Diamonds and a Diamond up.  Ordinarily I'd be resigned to Stacy showing out on the 2nd Diamond but on this strange auction it seemed more likely that if somebody was short, it was George.

Stacy ducked the Diamond and I inwardly shrugged and played the Ace.  George cooperated by following with the Jack and I ruffed dummy's last Heart and claimed.

George had been 'walking the dog'.

 

J73 / AKQ7543 / QJ4 / -

 

+620 was worth 9 IMPs and change (our one positive score in the 5 board mini-set.)  Too bad partner had passed 2 Diamonds.  If he raises to 3, it's pretty auto for me to bid 6.
