Just got back from one of the local club's Christmas party. The game was a 28 person individual movement, with each player playing with 21 of the 27 others, one partner for each board. I had a good evening, and was extremely pleased to come in 3rd overall, with a 62.70% game, taking home 1.60 MPs.
One interesting hand from tonight....can your partnership bid this cold slam on 28 HCP?
North deals, Red vs White, and picks up:
S: Qx
H: AKQ
D: AKQxxx
C: Ax
South Has:
S: KT9xx
H: xx
D: J
C: Txxxx
At our table the auction precedded as follows (Please forgive the formatting, blogger doens't have tables);
N E S W
2c p 2d p
3d p 3s p
4NT p 5c p
5d p 5s p
6s X AP
2c was strong and forcing, 2d waiting (Possibly negative)
3d and 3s natural
4NT was Std. Blackwood
Opening lead was a small club, ducked to my singleton Jack. Heart to the Ace. I now led a small spade, hoping to find the doubler with the AJ and limit my losses to one. East plays low, West wins the Ace, and returns a club, won with the Ace. I play the Q of spades, both follow. I now lead a small diamond from the board which E ruffs with the J, and my worries are over.
Most of the field was in 5d down 1.

I guess you have some typo's here. Dunno what's cold about this slam because a Club lead defeats it, or the hands are wrong. What "singleton CJ"? :)
I agree with Free - any slam is hopeless on a club lead - although 4S is the matchpoint spot since both diamonds and spades make 5 and 3N makes 4.
I think what Tyler intended to say was apart from the sure club loser on a club lead and playing the trump siut of Qx opposite KT9xx for 1 loser its cold.
I think.
