jack*Last* time I played bridge it was all 4443, 4443, 4432, 4443, 4443, every hand making me go "OK, now how do you bid to an uncontested partial score again?"
*This* time, 55s and 67s and other crazy shit singleton beer cards[1] abounded. I arrived to witness J play four consecutive hands, the last three with 4-0 or 5-0 trump splits against. *Several* hands with no notable feature other than a spade straight[1]. But it was fun and instructive, as always.
[1] The beer card is the 7 of diamonds. A spade straight is 356789 or similar. Neither has any importance for the play of the game, except if you find your life insufficiently illuminated by bidding conventions.
