Here is a collection of random extrema (that I wrote
down) for sessions and such.
9/06/2006 - I held 7 voids, 8 singletons, and 3 7-card suits in 27 boards.
9/28/06 - I witnessed the most duplication I've ever seen between two
hands:
KQ
KT97
QJ84
AKJ
A5
QJ6542
T5
QT9
Counting T and 9 spots, our hands contain a total of 18 honor cards,
and 9 of them are completely wasted (the hJ is probably wasted too).
10/14/2006 - I held the following hand while playing online with
Noble, which is by far the worst hand I've ever seen much less held:
432
8762
862
642
11/1/2006 - I held the best hand in terms of high cards that I've ever
held.
AK6
AKQ
AKT5
AJ2
Not the best 28-count in the world, but I'll take it. So I opened 2C
and was sitting there contemplating how many NT to bid, when RHO
chimes in with 3S over partner's 2D. This seemed like a defensive
hand to me, so I doubled, but partner thought it was more of a pure
penalty double and passed on
-
J95
J9832
QT984, so we missed a makable
slam.
7/8/07 - I held arguably a better hand than that:
AK
AKT
AQ
AK9876
If I had to assign a number to it, I suppose that number would
probably be 30. We ended up in 6N making 6, when partner showed up
with the cQ and the diamond finesse was on.
7/7/07 - I held almost certainly the worst cards I've ever held over
24 hands:
6 7 9 5 6 8 6 12 7 4 11 7 8 5 2 8 8 3 9 3 7 13 12 8
This comes out to 7.25 HCP, with only 4 above average hands. Normally
I don't care about not having high cards, but this was also one of the
least fun sessions I've ever played. I think if we had played
perfectly, we could have been average.
3/20/08 - I held probably the best cards I've ever held playing
online. Over 25 boards, I held an average of 13.4 HCP, as well as
holding 9 singletons, 3 voids, 4 6-card suits, a 7 and an 8-card
suit. During the course of these hands, Noble and I scored over 350
points per hand, and almost +3 IMPs against the field per hand (which
is not suprising since you win like 3 for bidding your cold games).
8/3/08 - I held the best string of hands I've ever held. First I picked up:
AKxxxx
-

KQJT9x
followed by:
AQxxx
-
AKQxxx
Ax
and finally, to top it all off:
AKQ
-
AKQxx
Axxxx
