- Andy Caranicas's bidding problem: --- AQ875 J94 QJ832
- Good point but it looks like if someone owns the spade suit it's not us.
- Andy Caranicas's bidding problem: KT73 K83 98 J762
- Well, I was East on this hand and we got a good board when N passed and South bid 3♥ which was down 1. 2♠ was likely down 2. I thought N should double with a good hand for defense in spades, but apparently most of the world ...
- Easier Source
- Kit- I would have won the first trick in dummy with ♠A and led a small diamond at T2, then play on hearts. Is this line inferior to the suggested line of play or are they essentially transpositions?
- Yuan Shen's bidding problem: K54 AT KT KQJT72
- If partner shows 3 then I'll try 7♣. That looks a whole lot safer than 7NT. At matchpoints it's a tougher call but I think I still try 7♣.
- Barry Dehlin's lead problem: AQT92 AJ7 Q 7543
- If partner happens to have ♠J I would like to see it at T1. ♠Q it is.
- Solution To NABC Starting Times: EVERYONE Can Have What They Want
- Also, I may get a table at the nearby restaurant between sessions.
- 4!S MP-play
- If E started with ♠Kx (not the 10), then I can start running diamonds pitching hearts, hoping W started with at least 3 diamonds. If E ruffs in, I can overruff and pick up the trumps.
- Who to blame?
- Maybe I should have said that I would double with 4-5 in the majors unless the 5-card suit is sufficiently stronger than the 4-card suit.
- Who to blame?
- North by starting with 1♥ is almost but not quite denying 4 spades. Then by failing to bid spades later, S cannot expect a 4-card holding. I put most blame on North.
- Who Are the Shrewdest BW Members!?
- I'm waiting until the events are over before I vote.
