Scoring: IMP


This deal worked out well for us, but not by pure brilliance. However, I found the entire deal, bidding and play, intriguing and thought I'd share.

First, the auction:

1♦-1♥-X-1NT*-
2♠-3♣**-X-P-
P-P

*Suit/Lead (club suit or lead interest)
**Suit/Lead Support Double Inference (4-card clubs shown)

The auction was interesting. Sitting North, I took a slight risk introducing clubs. However, I expected that Opener would do something. If that something was a spade raise, partner would be expected to have a stiff (Opener would make a support double otherwise). Because he could then make a support double for my hypothetical club suit, he'd only bid 3♣ with true support. If he doubled, showing three clubs, I'd bid 3♦ in case he had 1543 pattern, and he'd correct to 3♥ with six hearts. Hopefully the Jack would be sufficient.

So, we end up in a messy 3♣ doubled. The defense was amazing.

Open: Diamond Ace(!)-small-Queen(?)-small.
Diamond continued-small-Jack!?!-King. One for each of us.
Spade toward dummy, ducked to RHO's Jack.
Small diamond(wow!)-spade-club-diamond.
Heart-Jack-duck-small. Weird. ...Tank...
Spade-small-ruff-small.
Heart Ace-small-spade-King. ...Tank Longer...
Club-duck-Pop-small.
Club-club-club-Ace.
Claim.
