- Paulo Brum's bidding problem: 62 K7 AQ63 AKJ75
- I start with 2♣ and depending on what happens, I can bid 2NT next to show ♦ as well. I don't like the immediate double with no ♥ support.
- Restricted choice: real life example
- If there are three security lines at the airport, chances are the one in the middle is not the least busy. Not really restricted choice but pretty useful if not completely obvious.
- Andy Caranicas's lead problem: Q5 T53 A9632 QJ8
- At the club my partner led a ♥ and apologized for not leading the ♣ which does one trick better. I also said I would lead a ♥ from his hand, but 80% led a ♣ which surprised me so I posted this. Perhaps at the other tables the opening ...

- Meaning of spades bids in a XYZ auction
- I play: 1♠ - Artificial denying 4 spades and any rebid by opener can be passed. 2♠ - 4+♠ GF That's as far as I've broken it down.
- 1n-(3m)-x
- This is why when I'm NV I make the 3m bid often. It's very hard for opener's side to deal with.
- Director question
- Note for the next declarer: Please play the first round of trump before claiming.
