HI Folks,

Curious – I logged in and saw a hand where South had AQxx AKQ109x A9 J and was dated 24th Jan but it seems to have vanished. If it doesn’t re-appear I’ll chase Sally up.

Regards,

Iain

Please make a note of this just in case I’m not around to ask the lady involved!

Hi Iain,

Your mindset seems to suggest that your considerable mind is playing bridge for coin of t.he realm, and wanted that hand returned. Good luck with that, but some good players also are
excellent at stealing tricks as well as the trade, so do not be too optimistic. However, you can still harbor the thought that you were dealt, at the very least, a game hand, but lo and behold, you bid and made a slam.

At my age, it is never too late to be super optimistic, and possibly you feel the same way.
