Am on board 7 and I can't make it past trick 1 in the play - every time I try to lead to trick 2 this happens:

An error has occurred. Table closing. GIB Ask Failed: ERROR(1): Robot Error: HTTP Issue: status: 500

Even tried opening the tourney from my phone and same issue. Help!

I am having the same problem. So are you saying that I cannot finish today's tourney? Of course, I have my highest score of all time after six hands LOL

yeah i've got a 77.8% game and really want to see if this squeeze is going to work (assuming i don't get the break that makes it laydown). RIP

thanks, don't suppose you can let me know the layout of this hand to verify if could have made the contract. happy new year!

Are you playing a grand slam with AKQJ10x AQ9x A Jx in your hand?

I am in 7 NT doubled, dying to know if it makes LOLLLL

same contract, assuming spades aren't 6-0 and clubs don't break (or Q drops stiff) then a squeeze will work if the minor suit guards are divided or if the hand that holds them also has the heart guard. i'd guess it's on but not sure i'm ever going to find out.

What order were you going to cash your tricks? I knew with 99% certainty that RHO has the king of diamonds from a lead directing double...

(after taking AD from the lead)
run the spades throwing a diamond and little clubs, low club to the ace to see if queen drops. if not, cash other club to see if suit splits. at this point dummy should have one club, QD, Ax of hearts. then if both minor suits are still guarded, AH and back to my hand to play KQ9. anyone guarding another suit can't guard hearts. also works if hearts happen to have JT tight in one hand. (or J/T stiff with LHO so i can hook the second round, assuming i count correctly).

again seems likely to make. and they might always act stupidly when the spades are run.
