Scoring: IMP

The result is S-4♥XX-2,another room is 3♥-1.
Could you image the sequence of bidding?

Clubs Match.The obvious difference is that one west opens 1♠,another opens 1♦ with responding by 1♠.What's your opinion?

many roads lead to 3H. As for 4HXX, I'm not sure I'm interested. Perhaps you can surprize me.

[civill]

I suggest that we firstly discuss on bidding,are there enough good reasons to bid 3♥,but not 4♥XX.
Later,I'll post the whole deck.Thank you in advance!

My bidding

PASS = 2H = let them decide what to do.. .

East deals and WEST gets to open? South couldn't see himself clear to bid 2♥ over EAST pass? Really, worried about that four card spade suit? How about 1♥ then if so bothered.

Ok, if I had to guess,

(P) - P* - (1S) - 2D      *yuck
(P) - 2♥ - ( P) - 2♠
(P) - 4♥ - ( X) - Pass
(P) - XX

The redouble here is, "I should have bid earlier, and partner cue-bid in support of hearts, surely I must be making a ton." Lesson, if you should be bidding earlier, BID EARLIER.

I also think South should bid 2♥,but actually both rooms' south pass,One is:
S W N E
--------p
P 1D P 1S
2H 2S 3H P
4H P P X
XX P P P

I think East's 1♠ response has changed the sequence of bidding.Even 4♥XX may be not reasonable,but how about 4♥?Is it only an application of LOTT?

Another is :
S W N E
--------p
P 1S P 2C
2H 2S 3H P
P P

It seems that ♥s are stickers.And here is the fullhand:

Scoring: IMP

Opening lead ♥x.East gets the first trick,returns ♥10. How many tricks could you get?

When and where to brake?There are more cases at the Clubs tournaments:
1.

Scoring: IMP

S W N E
p p 1C p
1H p 2H p
p p

Open lead S8,2H+1

---

Another room:
S W N E
p p 1C p
1H p 2S p
4H pass all

Open lead Sx ,4H-1.

2.

Scoring: IMP

S W N E
------p
1N 2D p 2H
X 2S 3H 3S
pass all
Open lead DJ,W-3S+1;

---

Another room:
S W N E
--------p
1H 1S 2H 2S
3D 3H p 4S
pass all

Same open lead,West's 4S made.

[civill]

3.

Scoring: IMP

S W N E
1H p 4S p
6S pass all
Open lead Dx,N-6S-1

---

Another room:
S W N E
1H p 1S p
2D p 4S pass all

The same open lead, North's 4S+1;


Is it the problem of brake system?
