Hi ,
We've all been there: we think we've bid and played the hand fine but then when we compare our results, we see the top boards have contracts different from ours.
In this competitive auction, sent in to us from Gloria at the Villages Bridge Club, the opponents bid to 2♠ before partner overcalls 3♥. With 12 hcp and a nice 4-card spade suit, should we have bid 3NT like those who achieved the top board for this hand?
If you play an interesting bridge hand on BBO, you can send it to us with a question by exporting it and sending it to the username 'HelloLBO'. Maybe it will end up in an upcoming video with one of our teachers!
This video was originally aired in 2022. Gloria, thank you for sending in this interesting hand!
