A two slams night

Two slams night: I played five hands winning 4, that includes an unbid grand slam.

The first slam is, a grand slam but we didn’t bid for – a pooper. We both have 17 hcp each:

♠️ A
♥️ K9872
♦️ AK62
♣️ K52
My P
♠️ K8
♥️ AQJ 10 3
♦️ Q10
♣️ A10 86

So, we’ve all four As and Kings. But we didn’t bid for it, for some reason, unfortunately, played at 4♥️.

The second slam, we’ve 32 hcp (me 15 and P 17): 3 As and 4 Kings.

We asked for As and Ks, ended up 6N and my partner made it – it was NOT an easy hand.

Note to myself: make sure to settle on the suit you’re playing before asking for As and Ks.

I initially bid for ♦️… If we stayed with ♦️, we could have another grand slam since we both have a singleton ♥️♠️.

Pickleball paddle

It’s the first time I heard/learnt that the paddle should be held vertically, instead horizontal when dinking. I’ve taken Byron F’s private lesson but he didn’t correct me – said nothing. Oh well.
