Diving back into the Daylong robot toonimint ocean, I’m determined to hook that elusive 90% game. Up floated this hand that could separate the RazorSharks from the Chickens-of-the-Sea.
Hubris explains my vicious piranha-chomp to GRAND SLAM!
When dummy flopped, I was SQUID-FACED — What disrespect! 🙁 Now, isn’t it totally fishy to hope that we have as-many-or-MORE hearts than spades-for-trump?
Would I really bid 1♠ then 6♥ with 4-7 or 5-8 in the majors?
I hate to carp, but how can the obligatory 7♠ preference be wrong?
I guess I was lucky to score 22% for -100, as 7♠ went bait -200 when West got to roughy-up twice ahead of dummy after declarer cashed ♥A and tried to trump hearts on dummy.
Sadly, I was the ONLY slimy eel who couldn’t wiggle back into ♠, regardless of how many hearts was rebid.
BBOer grayjg (Canada) actually tried the Ultimate Negative Double over 1♦ — and survived! No fluke!
One StarFish showed how ♠s is DONE. Arfan rebid the apparently “politically correct” 6♥/4♦ – and the gracious Robot bestowed glory upon him by correcting to 6♠. Arfan won the ♦A trick 1 (♣ pitch) … and hooked the ♥10 (!), ruff-finessed the ♣A, ruffed a heart on dummy, then pitched ♥9-♥J-♥Q on ♦K-♣Q-♣J just for the halibut, before touching any trump for a brilliant +1460!! Holy mackerel, Arfan!
But floundering in Grand Slam, I’d like to think I cudda won the 2020 FISH-BOWL in BRIDGE HEROISM — if not for — (all together now, let freedom ring) —– DERELICTION of DUTY 🙂

Steelheading a Rainbow win requires an awful lot of rish to fry! Kelp trying!
STEEL-HEAD!! Har-Har. That’s now my hot new name for my robo-partners! After Bolt-Head, Tin-Cup, R2-D2, Scrap-Iron, Head-Bolt, Fem-Bot, Tin-Foil, Rust-Bucket, etc
Whale of a deal! Fun to sea.
Isn’t Thin-Kist the “chicken-of-the-sea”?
Are you Tony ‘the Tuna” Reus?
