Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Bridge post-mortems at the table
- While I do agree that they should, generally speaking, be avoided (system screw ups being the exception, in order to avoid another one), I'm pretty sure that wasn't the question.
- What is wrong with the Montreal Relay?
- I've never played it, but if memory serves, I think 1M over 1♣! promises 5 cards. With a 4 card major, you're supposed to respond 1♦.
- ACBL Search Committee Up and Rolling
- Wonder if they'll manage to find a clue this time. Nah, who am I kidding?
- Mike Heins's bidding problem: J973 5 KJ85 T832
- I'd probably have bid 4♠ to begin with as well.
- Say No To Cheats
- I have, and they were kind enough to waste some time, some ink, some paper, and then filed it in the circular file. I guess some part of my point, that the powers that be, at the club, unit, district and national level, at least in ACBL land, are far ...

- Say No To Cheats
- The thing about laws Mike, is that either they apply to everyone equally, or they're meaningless. You can't tolerate cheating early on and then assume that you'll magically get a clean game with no cheaters at the world class level.
- Say No To Cheats
- "Forbidden" is utterly meaningless when there is no enforcement.
- Say No To Cheats
- Well, there are 3 pairs at the club where I play that actually cheat. With agreements, collusion, and everything. For example (and I've tracked this over roughly 5 boards a week against them for over 2 years). Granted, most of what they do is laughably amateurish and easy to ...
- Say No To Cheats
- Signing letters is nice, but as long as cheating at the lower levels is met with only a shrug, and the tired, inane "it's only a club game" drivel, cheating will continue.
