Opening 6H in Atlanta

3rd December 2023, 06:47 pm

I had a bridge hand today at the Atlanta ACBL Nationals which I opened 6H:

AKxx AKQJTxx — AT

Dummy came down with JTxx — KQxxx Kxxx.

On the opening lead of the Diamond Ace, it was easy to make 7.

Same contract at other table after lots more bidding, but the bidding helped the opening lead and they made only 6. (After a Diamond control bid, it’s clearer not to lead the Diamond Ace!)
