Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Jonathan Cohn's bidding problem: KQ98 --- AKQ85 KQ74
- I think 4♣ as natural GF and 5♣ as Gerber are considered 'standard'.
- Andy Caranicas's bidding problem: KJT5 KT62 K AJ95
- I'm surprised there aren't more votes for 1NT here. It does overstate the hand a bit, but knowing partner had diamonds 3NT looks like the most likely game, if there is one.
- Critique This Bidding
- I think jumping to 5♠ is obviously not ideal, but West should bid 6♠ or better 6NT with the ♥ control in my opinion. I'm not sure what else 5♠ could be asking for.
- Richard Lawson's bidding problem: T98764 K4 A4 A64
- Just to clarify our teammates also would have doubled but the auction was a bit different and it got played from the other side where it cannot be beat.
- Peg Kaplan's bidding problem: Txxxx --- 9xxxx xxx
- Were you present when this was shuffled and dealt? It looks so much like a fixed hand.
- Is there a city more active in bridge, right now, from Athens, Greece?
- I will be in Athens soon. I may be looking for a game on July 1 but I have family obligations as well. Any suggestion on a club with a high quality game near Kolonaki?
- Rich Newell's bidding problem: Jxx JT9xxxx Jxx ---
- I like the pre-emptive value of 4♦. They just might have at least a partial their way, and it will be difficult to double an auction like this.
- Andy Caranicas's bidding problem: AQ2 T72 J542 953
- Well, FWIW, doubling was wrong on this hand, so the majority wins. I lost. 2♠ makes, and actually W pulled to 3♥, which also makes.
- Steven Gaynor's bidding problem: J8743 AJ74 52 T8
- Neither of my suits would be worth any kind of overcall at the 2-level, so I trust partner has a better suit than I do.
- What's going wrong with Gatlinburg ??
- Steve I'm glad somebody thinks of me as young.
