At IMPs, GIB miraculously comes up with the best lead of a club, ensuring 3NT is going to go down 5 tricks.

Sadly, once it gets in, it decides to try the only play guaranteed to let the contract make.

Blah blah, GIB can't simulate due to impossible bidding, I know. Regardless of the excuse, this is pretty rubbish

But this is how daylongs are designed to be won/lost. (This was only enough for 7th place sadly, due to one flat board I was dealt.)

what so impossible about bidding south take a shot a 3N based on tricks and a spade stopper. should have KD otherwise is normal.

What's to simulate? partner might have Q♣ let them in to lead spades.
When QC hold you know partner has KC and it's -5.

Playing smith echo or any sort of suit preference you wouldn't have to rely on opponent's bidding for your defense.
