A Coup For You

One of the great annual bridge events is the Cavendish Invitational Pairs. The top players in the world meet in Las Vegas, playing for a big prize pool instead of Master Points.

It is always great fun to watch on BBO Vu-Graph. This year the organizers are seeking a broader appeal. You can play from home by picking the winners. It is a free entry, so why not? It is unlikely that anyone will hit the superfecta of naming the first four or five at the top, but there is also a guaranteed prize.

Enter at the Cavendish Site, and watch there for Daily Bulletins and results. Entries close at midnight CDT on May 10th.

Vulnerable versus not at IMP’s I pick up J 10 Q 9 8 3 K J 10 7 Q J 10.

RHO passes and so do you. LHO, third seat at favorable, opens 2. Partner doubles and RHO raises to 3.

What is your call? How many hearts do you promise with a double or if you bid the suit?

Look here for our “solution”.
