How hard is it to get a consistent plus score in club bridge? I returned to the game this year and I lost every single session.

We used weak suit game try so there was no way to show a second fit. Our concern was one held xxx in a suit which could easily lose 3 quick tricks in a game.

Anyway, I turned up at another bridge club today as a visitor and played with the host, and I finally broke even for the first time this year, at 54.2% MP in a 9-table 2-winner Mitchell truncated to 8x3-board rounds.

I have marked a few boards which I want to discuss:

Board 4


I collected +500 for a top.

I bid 3♠ to strength, but I started to unsure if 4♠ would make as I held marginal game values. Was my 4♠ bid right? Should I doubled their 4♥ instead of risking a 4♠ that would be doubled?

I think your p should make a XX to show a max.
And I am not sold on bidding 4S without encouragement from opener.
With kind regards
