Distributional hands continue to haunt me. We almost won a knockout round, but didn't because I misjudged one of these hands from hell. Lee kindly keeps telling me we also would have won if she had done something different on another hand, but I don't even remember that one anymore. I think she's just (futilely) trying to stop me from obsessing about this.
Picking up a hand with 6-5 distribution and 2 singletons should be a great thing, right? I can still see it; it was loaded with enough points to give hope, but with enough holes in those points to cruelly dash that hope on the rocks. I went down doubled for a bizillion points, and I wasn't even vulnerable.
So I ask you, how can I know if distribution is good enough to make game? My partner had reluctantly supported me (after originally passing and then going back to my first suit when I offered up my second suit for her consideration). And my opponents kept taunting me by bidding my singletons' suits. How was I to know that I should have passed?
It didn't help that the opponents' hands were also distributional.
But really, help me out here-how much value should I assign to extreme distribution?
