nt|inquiry: lots of imps possible here|pg||
mb|3C|nt|kit: Meckstroth has a good hand, but no convenient action|pg||
nt|me argent: just a question how many imps they will lose from about 10 to 18 imps|pg||
mb|p|nt|landen: quandary, hates 4 card overcalls and hates passing this much so doubled?|pg||
mb|3D|nt|kit: Double is very dangerous with a stiff diamond|pg||

mb|p|mb|3H|nt|kit: but on a good day partner doesn't bury you with diamond bids|pg||
nt|inquiry: well this is slam zone now... imps are coming to the leader for sure... 5@H, 5@D, 2@S ruff, and @CA.. they just need to avoid playing in @cs... |pg||

nt|me argent: can be cruel?|pg||

mb|p|nt|me argent: to everyone|pg||
mb|4C|nt|inquiry: I am thinking on this auction, 5@D is forcing... we will see if Stansby bids again .. .that will tell us as he has so little... but then they open very light... :)|pg||
mb|p|nt|kit: not much the defense can do here|pg||
mb|4N|mb|p|mb|5C|nt|me argent: stansby knows despite his minimum he has great fitting cards 4 partner|pg||
nt|inquiry: no way for EAST to know about @CA I think, so this might be the end.. on the other hand,.... his partner has to be inviting 7 and he has AKQ of trumps.....|pg||
mb|p|nt|kit: Best defense is actually a diamond shift, and hope declarer is unable to find his ninth trick|pg||
nt|bigtrain: 3 is a standard card... meckwell normally play upside-down carding|pg||
nt|bigtrain: this is an exception|pg||
nt|landen: Not likely looking at mech's heart holding|pg||
nt|kit: But on the auction, declarer can't very well get it wrong -- Meckstroth would be squeeze in 3 suits on the run of the diamonds|pg||
mb|5D|nt|me argent: he chickened out he knew it was rgt to bid with those @Ds but he just couldnt bring himself to do it|pg||

mb|p|nt|me argent: but it was the rgt decesion as the OR result indicates|pg||
