jackI've oft commented how every time you try to play bridge, there's some theme that permeates the evening. Of course, in any statistical process, you expect clustering, but the more specific it is, the funnier it is.
That night's theme was "Playing a 3NT with a strong hand and a void in dummy." The first time, 3NT, I had a void, I was dummy. The following hand, 3NT, I had a void, I was dummy. The hand after that we broke the pattern -- the opponents played 3NT with a void in dummy instead.
Come to think of it, is that so bad? Obviously an unbalanced hand is a lot better in a suit contract. But if declarer has shown a stop for the void suit, and there's a good chance that the partnership will have nine or ten cards in one suit, it might work. (Better if dummy has entries, of course.)
