7 on this for pushing too much
{comments}
We lost 6 on this when I chose the 5-3 fit and not the 4-4 which maybe is against the odds.

Sorry these images come out small and I don't know how to make them large.

Not sure why I got the call from Phil when I was settling to watch the Camrose on viewgraph with a plate of curry. Anyway thanks it was an interesting experience and a very painful one on one particular hand.Here are some of the imps that I (we) chucked.

1st hand, 2♥ was a huge overbid. Once you started double, you should pass. If you want to stretch it, you may raise to 3♣. Or you can start 1NT at the first place. But cue over 2♣, is a huge overbid imo.
2nd hand a bit unlucky, but you already showed ♠ firt via 2♣. Why not raise hearts to 3, just in case pd may hold 4 of them?

If I have time I'll post a few hands. I'm particularly mad at myself for pooching a fascinating 3N late in the match.
On the two hands above:
1. I think 2!h is a lot but I'm ok with 3!c. I almost passed 4!c - should it be forcing?
2. I figured 2!c was Drury but by now I was playing on my phone and couldn't validate the cc. 3!s seemed like a safety play in the bidding as 2!s might be a false preference.
