You open 1 Club.  Pard bids 1 Heart.  You rebid 2 Clubs.  Pard bids 2 Diamonds.  Righty now roars to life and bids 2 Spades.  You pass.  Partner now bids 3 Diamonds.  Your call.

I went into the tank and decided that 5 Diamonds needed too much.  Peter shows at least an invitational hand but he can't have a huge hand, can he?  With a ton of values I think he'd balance back in with 3 Spades and then bid more Diamonds.  I passed.

Invitational?  Ummm, not so much.

Peter made 3 Diamonds on the nose and we were off and running.  Win 5 and a half.

Unfavorable 4th

7 / J9432 / KT53 / AQJ

Righty opens 1 Spade.  You double.  Lefty bids 4 Spades.  Pard bids 5 Hearts.  Righty bids 5 Spades.

I couldn't bring myself to double with this piece of cheese (especially with the 5th Heart.)  At these colors maybe this auction is forcing in theory, but I was pretty sure that Peter wouldn't see it this way.  If you whip, you turn +50 into +100 and gain an IMP and change.  (Not really much of a problem, but I wanted to include one I got 'wrong.')

All red 2nd

KQ9543 / AKJ2 / 8 / 53

You open 1 Spade.  Pard bids 2NT (Jacoby.)  You bid 3 Diamonds (shortness.)  Pard bids 4 Spades (fast arrival.)

I made the moderate overbid of 5 Hearts here.  I figured it was overwhelmingly likely that we'd be safe at the 5 level.  Lucky for me, Peter had underbid his hand, apparently feeling guilty about having only 3 Spades (and not loving his minor wasteage in Diamonds.)

+1430 was worth almost 10 IMPs

White on red 4th

JT / A95 / QJ4 / AK987

You open 1NT.  Pard bids 2 Hearts (Jacoby.)  You bid 2 Spades.  Pard bids 4 Spades (slam try?)  You play Texas.

Okay, even if this is a slam try you don't have anything resembling an accept really.  I just included this hand because it's kind of funny.

Before dummy tracks, but after I've passed:

'yes, we play texas, peter'

'but I guess you're safe here as passed hand' edit - typo corrected

The response, after dummy tracks:

'promises 6'

Ah.

A lucky +450 was win 5 and change.

All red 4th

Lefty tanks and opens 1 Club.  Pard bids 1 Heart.  Righty passes.

Q984 / 5 / AQ876 / 974

I'm not sure what's right with this but I bid 1NT.  Float.  Good spot.  Diamonds is a little better though.

A / J9432 / KJ32 / A62

Q984 / 5 / AQ876 / 974

Hearts were 5-1 offside, so passing 1 Heart risks -100, but you'll probably get a 2nd chance.

+90 was win most of an IMP.

Red on white, 2nd

QT9 / 863 / AK / T9652

Lefty opens 2 Spades in 3rd.  Pard bids 4 Hearts.

This was the last board.  Can pard have x / AKQxxxx / xxx / AK?  Not quite a perfecta, but I think too much to hope for.  If my Queen of Spades were anywhere else, I think I'd make a try.  I passed.

Peter was a bare (or perhaps slightly sub-) minimum. 

QT9 / 863 / AK / T9652

65 / AKQJ74 / Q96 / AQ

Unlucky for us, 5 Hearts also makes (Club King onside) so we didn't win as many IMPs as we might have (4 pairs in 5 Hearts making.)

+650 was win 2 and a quarter.
