Make up your mind before continuing

Tuesday 29th July: The last five matches of Stage 2. We need to score around about average for the day to avoid the cut. We lose the first 13-17, then win 16-14, 20-10, 20-10 so that we cannot miss out any more. We are solidly ensconced in fifth place and our 11-19 loss in the final match changes nothing. No pairs of note missed out in Stage 1 and none were cut out in Stage 2 either.

In our division with one match to go, the pairs contesting the 6th and 7th berths were on 189, 177, 177, 177, 176, 176, 174 and 164. In theory any of these could make it, but the real excitement was for those in the 170s.

This was Board 21 from Round 11.

North dealer: North-South vulnerable

West	North	East	South
---	Pass	3	Pass
4	All pass

Since 3 would be forcing, the choice is to pass 3 or bid 4 .

Hoping for a little more in with partner like the A, the Q and a couple of spades, I went for the bigger result. In practice 4 went three down and 3 would have the same outcome. That was -150 for -3 Imps against the datum of N-S 60.
