nt|Vugraph810: little pause, E left the room|pg||

nt|Walddk2: The rare occasion where everyone is dealt a 4333 pattern|pg||
nt|Vugraph810: N left the room too...|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Guess they'll play in NT then.:)|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Many think that 4333 is the most common of patterns. It's not. I think it's ranked 5th or 6th. 4432 is by far the most common. 21% of the times you get a 4432 hand|pg||

nt|finch: isn't it time for someone to bid 3NT?|pg||
nt|skjaeran: Last chance!|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Michielsen considering a club slam, but she is dead minimum and should sign off in 3NT|pg||
pc|cQ|nt|finch: luckily the heart position is sufficiently favourable that 5@C makes|pg||
pc|cA|pc|c3|pc|c5|pg||

nt|cuttysark: Certainly one would prefer to be in 3NT|pg||
pc|hJ|nt|finch: Although, draw trumps, eliminat diamonds, run a heart to the Queen, what does North return?|pg||
nt|Walddk2: They were probably both worried about diamonds, as PO Sundelin points out|pg||
nt|ritong: auction sounded to marion like they had only one @d stopper|pg||
nt|finch: answer.... a heart which South ducks again...|pg||
nt|ritong: if so, 4@s or 5@s rate to be superior if nine tricks are not available immediately|pg||
nt|ritong: 5@c*|pg||
