Likes: strong club systems, weak NT, canape. My favourite system is (therefore) Blue Club. Dislikes: 2/1 systems with their byzantine accretions of flying buttresses :)
\nCreated a Precision variant that I play with a few partners. Working out a system is always interesting.
\nPrefer count in almost all situations. As Guido sayeth, "we may not be good enough to know whether to encourage or not; but we can usually tell whether we have an odd or an even number of a suit". Amen.
\nIntolerant of rudeness and poor ethics. I tend to over-alert and over-explain, and bend over backwards to avoid using UI.
\nWish the ACBL would have simpler GCC rules. How can it be illegal to play Roman in 2013? Wish I could remember stuff well enough to play a relay system. Ambition: read and understand the rest of the chapters in Love :)

Local MP club game. At some point in a fairly routine auction that started 1NT(11+ - 14), 2♣ Stayman, 2♦, opponents ask for an explanation. At this point, partner explains my 2♣ bid as "normal, strong 2♣ opener" and there is some more discussion between opps and pd. Clearly, either partner has forgotten that he opened, and/or is having a major brain malfunction.
I deemed it unethical for me to interrupt the "explanation" - but what should I do? Call the director quietly?
Wouldn't this (unethically) awaken partner?
