Why fix it if it ain’t broke?

6-4, 6-1, 3-6: one ace (on a 2nd serve to the deuce court alley) and two doubles.
Why fix it if it ain’t broke?

Don’t know… maybe trying to better myself? The road is long and progress is slow. But I’m still trying, even the waiter’s tray is still there.

Why fix it if it ain’t broke?… 可以解释为 别多手 或者 没坏就不要修…
本来可以靠发球赢很多. 现在一心想改进 结果失误太多
今天又有二个double
(不过也一个ace …)
… 一根筋 继续改进 虽没啥长进
[捂脸][偷笑][呲牙]

歌是George Michael 的 True Faith [愉快] … I have faith to be the better me [偷笑][捂脸]

3 3 3 4 again

Girls night in, two interesting hands.

Bidding correctly is important: I tend to bid low, to feel my partner’s hand, or give her/him a chance to bid too. But many times, I don’t get to rebid when three passes occurred. Like this hand. My rho opened with a pass:

R1: p, 1♦️ (me), 1♠️, 2♦️
R2: 3♣️, 3♦️

Luckily, the bidding went on after my initial 1 diamond bid, which should have been 2♦️ bid.

This hand is identical to the last time at the club, 3 3 3 4, with 11 hcp, with the same partner:

R1: p, p (me), p, 1♦️
R2: p, 2♣️, p, 2N

By passing the first round, I’m telling my partner that I don’t have an opening hand, 12 to 13 hcp. She bid 1 diamond. The second round, I changed to clubs, which is my best suit, telling her that I’ve 10 points and club is my best suit. She then bid 1NT.
