B1: 3N+2 82% Same I saw no benefit to ducking 1st heart, as I can always duck the second. Immediately took club finesse and everything turned up Millhouse. B2 5C= 96% Okay, so apparently I opened 1C and I'm not clear why looking back. This appears to be a misclick So I got a little lucky here :) Though, looking at other results, I optimized card play. B3 4D-1 43% Same B4: 3S 21% I bid 3C, partner responded 3D (game try), I now countered 3H which I treated as showing my hand shape and partner took low road. I got a heart lead which I ducked in dummy. It's my error. I like your play much more. I was playing a little conservative as there was a lot of bidding going on. B5: 3N-3 54%??? Surprised at this one. I tried finessing the 8 of spade. That didn't work either, but it looks like you got a better return as a result. B6: 6N+1 93% I reversed in diamonds, as I find it more descriptive and partner eventually gave me 5NT pick a slam. But to each their own, didn't impact who played it. I basically ran the clubs and just set up a squeeze for spades and diamonds and the diamond queen dropped. This seemed like a pretty straight line, so I'm surprised at the result. B7: 4S= 61% I rebid 3S as it's forcing. I see no downside, as partner is still unlimited. Either way. I attacked trump first but ended up in the same place. B8 3H-1 75% I doubled because my 2 card heart holding could survive a heart response by partner. Partner showed invitational (thru leb) which I obviously passed. 66% and 3rd overall.
