Vul: Both Dlr: Righty Scoring: Matchpoints	PARD (dummy) K J 10 8 6 Q K J 9 8 3 A J		After winning the J in dummy, I call for the J. Righty stews over this for some time and eventually plays the 5, letting me score my Q. Not happy with stealing just one trick, I lead a heart to the Q which holds(!) and call for the K. Righty stews over his play yet a third time and eventually chooses to cover, sadly watching his A getting ruffed off. Crossing back to the A catches righty's Q and I pitch my stiff diamond on the 10, while catching lefty's 9. This is all academic, however because after I ruff a diamond and test trumps, I discover that lefty started with 5 hearts and righty threw his Q by accident. I could have made +140 all the time, had righty just taken his A on the first round.
Contract: 3 Lead: 7	ME Q K J 10 7 6 3 4 K 10 9 6 2

I am cold for +170 at this point because of the favourable diamond position. But because I am so elated over my elaborate swindle, I keep on calling for diamond pitches on the run of the clubs and hearts, to the point where I accidentally unguard my K. Lefty is now able to tap my hand without setting up a diamond in dummy, so he scores his 3 hearts plus the Q. Oops. Only +140, but a lot of fun nonetheless. I have done a lot of psychological damage to righty and on the companion board, I intend capitalize on it.

This hand is even better than the last one!

I open ONE HEART and partner bids ONE FORCING NOTRUMP. I am strong enough to reverse to TWO SPADES, so I do so. Partner now bids THREE DIAMONDS which shows diamonds and is game­forcing. We play Lebensohl over reverses which means that if partner had a weak hand of any description, then he would have bid 2NT. So, the negative inference is that partner's direct bid of 3 over a reverse shows values. (For a full description of Lebensohl, please see Brad Bart's summary of Lebensohl and its uses.)

I am not happy about playing THREE NOTRUMP with a void in partner's suit, but I am left with little choice. Partner corrects to FOUR HEARTS and I PASS. Lefty leads the 6.
