No memorable hands yet.

Played in the qualifying sessions of the national open pairs today.

I seriously think that if my partner and I put together two solid sessions tomorrow, we have a realistic chance at winning this.

Now, it's still odds-against. Neither of us is that great a player. (He's probably more reliable, while I think I'm better when I'm "on".)

However, there's no field. Virtually everybody who is anybody is still in the Spingold. Many of the good nobodies are either in the Spingold or the mini-Spingolds.

What's left is probably no better than your average open regional event, and I've done well in those before.

We scored 56% in the afternoon, playing reasonably, and managed 50% at night, despite playing quite poorly.

Sheesh.
