All hands were played with random partners, no special agreements. I am telling the following 3 stories with a twinkling eye...:

1) xxx, xx, xx, Kxxxxx
LHO opens 1♠ and pard bids 2NT. Some kind of Unusual NT? Right, wrong?!?! So, I 3♣ and pard now 3NT. Hm, whats that? P had 22 points, balanced.

2) Jxxx, x, Kxxx, Qxxx, RHO dealer
p - p - 1H - X (my hand suddenly is becoming more interesting...)
2H (what else?) - 2S - 3H - X (non-vul against vul, I am deciding to be aggressive)
p - 3S, end of bidding? no, not at all: LHO 4H and pard 4S
Who is expecting pard to have mere 12 points with 3rd Q in ♠ in ATxx in ♥?

3) my personal highlight
♠AKJx
♥QJ
♦QT9xxx
♣x

The bidding was ok until a new suit was mentioned on 4th level, pard opens:
1♣ - 1♦
2♦ - 2♠, after 2♦ I thought: what a wonderful world..., fit found, reverse-bidding now by responder, GF. Last open Q: how high?
2NT - 4♥, maybe my mistake. I thought: Asking for aces on ♦-base, if not then CueBid, Control Bid, anything, but not...
p!!!
So, at the end of the day I played 4♥ in a 4-2 contract. +2 btw . And even better: not so many pairs in 6♦, we still got a good result
