Opponents convention card: Bridge World Standard
Opponents playing strength: Fair
My hand: ♠ A Q 9 3 ♥ J 9 6 3 ♦ 7 6 ♣ A Q J
I open a weak no trump. Partner jumps to 3NT. Simple and easy.
West leads the 2 of clubs.

2-7-K-A. Why does partner only have a 10 count? Why does he have a 6 card suit? Why is that suit a major? On the plus side I have incredible support for his 6 card suit and the opponents didn't run diamonds off the top. I have 10 top tricks and no reason to let the opponents in to play diamonds. So I do that. Making 4.
| NORTH ♠ K J 8 7 5 4 ♥ A 8 2 ♦ Q 5 2 ♣ 7 | ||
| WEST ♠ T 6 ♥ Q T 5 4 ♦ A T 4 ♣ 8 5 3 2 | EAST ♠ 2 ♥ K 7 ♦ K J 9 8 3 ♣ K T 9 6 4 | |
| SOUTH ♠ A Q 9 3 ♥ J 9 6 3 ♦ 7 6 ♣ A Q J |
The other 7 tables all played spades. 1 made 3 spades, 2 went down in 4 spades, and 4 made 4 spades. Playing in NT got us 10 extra points which is enough for a solo top. So, uh, good bidding partner? Though we really should have had a bottom board...
Jack agrees with me all the way! (It may have something to do with making approximately no decisions this hand.)
Ranking after board 55/60: 1/16 with 63.12%
