No. 11 · Wednesday, September 30, 2026
Every player who played Daily Hand No. 11 got these same cards, sitting South with three house Experts. Here an Expert sat South too. This is how four Expert AI players bid and played the deal, card by card.
Bids go once around the table, starting left of the dealer. There's no talk between partners, so each seat bids on its own thirteen cards.
