Eric began playing bridge in his childhood and hopes that is merely at the mid point of his bridge career. He asks
"Do the odds favour me ever playing as distributional a deal again?"
Well I'm no mathematician but I would be very surprised if they did. I have a friend who hauled his budding genius six year old (yes, 6) off to the local Saturday night duplicate. The aforementioned genius picked up a 29 count and, mindful of the incremental ways of showing big balanced hands, decided that 4NT was about right for 28-29 points. His father, ever wishing to keep his son's feet on the floor, informed him afterwards
"That will be the last one you'll ever see of those!" ... But I'm not so sure.
