As unusual auctions go the one I'm about to show you is remarkable because it contains only two bids. Two bids and a double.
This was my hand:
| ♠ | A Q 4 |
| ♥ | 6 5 3 2 |
| ♦ | Q J 7 6 5 |
| ♣ | 6 |
All vul, playing pairs my partner dealt and opened a club - that's one bid. Since we play a transfer system and we show majors before minors I bid 1
♦ - see what's coming?
Left hand opponent holding a lot of points completed the first half of a double and bid; and was left hanging.
| South | West | North | East |
| - | - | 1♣ | Pass |
| 1♦* | Dbl | Pass | Pass |

I'd never scored +340 before, have you?
