Re: Reretaken Down
Here's a bittersweet story about one of my favorite games. A bridge player was dealt an extremely rare hand of four aces, three kings, and the rest queens and jacks; played in six no trump; made an overtrick; and died. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/we ... yer-329092

Re: Reretaken Down
I thought so at first too, but it depends on the distribution of the final 3 face cards. Couldn't you lose the final trick, especially if another player has all the rest of the faces? And if the K, Q, and J is in one suit in which they're strong, I'd say losing a trick is inevitable.bomtr wrote:Sounds like he should have been in seven no trump.

Re: Reretaken Down
Sure, it's not ironclad, but odds are pretty solid he can pick up that king one way or another. His distribution is obviously flat; I'd think his opening bid would be 6NT maybe, showing 32-33, and partner can bump with any 2 or 3. I'm no expert, but I'd be sore tempted to shoot the moon with my first bid. Prettiest hand of his life, and he missed the grand slam.Paucle wrote:I thought so at first too, but it depends on the distribution of the final 3 face cards.

Yes, that's it. Wrestlemania is the Super Bowl of the sports entertainment field. It's a big deal for the fan base that cares.Rex Kramer wrote:I think he means this:

That said, he is 49, and if there was ever a time to job to Lesnar, it's probably when you're going on 50.

Re: Reretaken Down
Thank you for asking. I was clueless as to what he meant.
I have heard of wrestlemania, but have never heard of Brock Lesnar. I wasn't interested enough to click the link to see if I'd heard of whoever they told him to lose to.
Which I have never even heard of before.
I once read an article back when they still pretended it was real and it said the only proof you needed that it was fake was that Las Vegas didn't take bets on it.

And it's been live for 2 years.The result of a missing bounds check in the source code, Heartbleed allows attackers to recover large chunks of private computer memory that handle OpenSSL processes. The leak is the digital equivalent of a grab bag that hackers can blindly reach into over and over simply by sending a series of commands to vulnerable servers. The returned contents could include something as banal as a time stamp, or it could return far more valuable assets such as authentication credentials or even the private key at the heart of a website's entire cryptographic certificate.
