Alex submitted the story below.
We hope you like it - and learn something from it, i.e. the importance of table presence. Hello,
I have a nice hand which I enjoyed bidding and playing, and which might be interesting reading for your, like me, intermediate level bridge playing readers.
Thanks
Alex
As South, EW vulnerable, I hold: | ♠ | K 5
| | | ♥ | K J 8
| | | ♦ | A K Q 9 8 4 2
| | | ♣ | 6

I look at my hand and figure if pard has an ace then 5♦ is very likely. Does he have an ace? Don't know. I could blast 5♦. Who knows - it might be a save. But using a hand like this wisely can give big scores. A plan forms in my mind. I double. |
