Sin! Leading Singletons!

It was a rowdy day at BBR.

6 and 7 card fits making overtricks in game - Slams getting doubled and going down - Phantom sacrifices!

Playing with a regular partner, I found myself in a horrible contract after a bidding disagreement once again. There's only one way this contract makes....

Yes. You guessed it...

Pre-empts, Doubling and Team Bidding!

During a fun week at the Orlando Regional Tournament, I encountered many ridiculous hands as well as ridiculous people. 

We had done well most of the week and started a new knockout.

Thirsty for more blood and gold, we found ourselves in a tight match.

While I won't blame the entire outcome on one hand, this was definitely one of the most sinful swings of the match.

Return of the (sinful) Redouble

I swore to myself I would never do it again...

The sacred blue card would never hit the table again as long as my ACBL membership dues were paid.

No, not the alert card.

The Redouble.

It was a rescue situation. Or was it? And who was rescuing who?

Defensive Awesomeness #1/Declarer Error

Backed up in my bank of fun hands is this little nugget.

Playing some boring 2 Spade contract suddenly got interesting when I discovered how brilliant my partner was being.

Good defense thrives on the declarer's 'sins.' Although this isn't anything that would knock you into the 9th level of hell, it's still kinda interesting (however basic).

Defensive Error(?) / Endplay #1!!

I played this hand last month after an excruciatingly, long holiday break...

I find myself sitting in the money seat. Maybe it's the fact that I haven't seen cards for a week or maybe I really am getting all the fun hands.

Either way it's a good day. I'm above ground and I'm playing bridge. What more can you ask for?

How about an awesome endplay!?'
