Started out in the NYC area, moved to DC burbs in 1990. Enjoy the challenge of playing different systems with different partners though getting old and forgetting sucks! I am a bidding problem junkie (MSC, It's Your Call, etc.) though I sometimes realize my action at the table and the action I choose for the contest aren't necessarily the same!
I enjoy tournaments and play in them more than in club games. Go to occasional nationals and hope to do more of those in the future.
Did manage my highest ever finish in an open National event by coming in 2nd in the Fast Pairs at the 2018 Spring tournament in Philadelphia.

you are in 2nd chair (RHO passed). You play a standard system with 1NT 15-17HCP. Purpose is to determine whether hands of this type (with 2 four-card majors and a small doubleton outside here) would make you consider opening 1♦. Also, perhaps some would consider this hand "too good" for a 15-17 1NT and are opening 1♦ because they feel it is worth an upgrade in addition to having both 4 card majors.
