Tom and I were partners for the first six boards.
We used hands that Natalie Jean and I played against the bots. Tom and I sat N-S. When the smoke cleared after Natalie Jean and I had burned through the bots (01-15-2011), Natalie and I were up 29.6 to 0.5
(b) A convenient rebid
(c) A source of tricks
Tom and I get to an unbeatable 4H holding:
QT64 KT964 AQ9 8 -- A5 QJ952 732 K63
a very routine 1H - P - 4H swish .. making 10 tricks
we are plus 420 -- Natalie and I were plus 420 === push board
#2 Opps really mess this one up
DONT MAKE FANCY CUE BIDS PARTNER MIGHT MESS UP
bidding went P P 1D ... X
2D 2S Passed out
at the "other table" our opps had a major bidding muck up
P P 1D X
XX 1S P P
2S P P P ... our "teammates" were -200
we lose 6 imps .... we are down after 2 boards 0-6
#3 LEARN TO PASS WHEN THEY OPEN YOUR BEST SUIT
Natalie and I actually picked up 2 imps declaring 1NT, off one
AQT A8753 94 KT8 -- J632 Q KJ753 964
1H P 1NT (not wrong in our style, because I will freely raised with three spades, Q-x-x or better and a singleton)
Mom elected to overcall the one heart opener 2C holding
K984 KJT3 A8 J52 ... not a success, off two Tom and I go +200,
we get the six imps back after three boards, score remains tied
6-6
#4 On the nature of opening one-of-a-suit
Don't even ask why I opened 1H holding: J AQ52 10874 K952 (I wanted a heart lead)
The ended up in four spades going a slightly different route
P 1H P 1S: P 2D (we had agreed this shows more than a minimum, either 5-5 or 15+ HCP)
3S P - 4S four spades made, both ways, pushed board
#5 Renegade preempts with nice shapely offensive hands
Tom opens 2H holding ... (prepare to hold your nose)
Kx 987432 -- AT763 ... Raeanne holds: Axx AKQJ ATx Q92
They waltz into six spades, and Tom leads the Ace of clubs, catching my stiff four. We end up scoring club A, club ruff, diamond ruff, club ruff, diamond ruff
NOT QUITE the same as when Natalie and I held the cards (the hands were flipped 180 degrees)
I opened 3D, vulnerable on 76 T65 J965432 4 (vul vs not, no less)
bidding continues
3D 3S P 4N

Natalie shows a tad more gumption ... in both cases six spades goes down four .. its just that in one instance, it was -400, in the other -1100, ginormous pick up for anne and raeanne
... 12 imps for the little ladies, who now are leading 18-6
#6 Raeanne and Anne handled this one like champs - Raeanne showed a minimum opener with long clubs and Anne let her have it they made 3 (there is a reasonable 2S, off one sacrifice our way, however ... we held 6 HCP in clubs, good only for 2 defensive tricks).
Raeanne & Anne pick up an imp ... after six boards

Board #1 - what constitutes an opening one-of-a-suit bid?
(a) Some defense (at least 2 quick tricks)(b) A convenient rebid
(c) A source of tricks
