Ciaran Coyne's bidding problem: KJT854 KJ8 4 AT5
I really dislike problems where we're supposed to guess how partner went wrong. At the table, I always assume partner has his bid, and would have made the correct bid earlier in the auction. I do the same here. I'm left with a 0=4=6=3. Pass.
Jason Chiu's bidding problem: A2 AKQ4 Q9732 A5
Isn't this a Hamman's Law hand?
Paul Lewis's bidding problem: KJ62 AQ863 A5 72
Agree with Tom A., 3 as a WEAK NT Smolen.
Dean Pokorny's bidding problem: AQJ82 A2 A QT964
First 3 seats bid & you have an 18-count = Average Dean Problem. ;)
Rob Brady's bidding problem: AKQ KQ82 QT85 AK
I must be missing something; if it was MPs, I'd probably X, but since it's IMPs, I trot out RKC (yes, it has to be RKC and not Quant, etc.), and I'm taking either the dead-sure 5/NT, the pretty-damn-sure 6/NT, or the might-be ...
Terry Beckman's bidding problem: A 5 KT64 QT87542
How about a reveal?
Jeff Lehman's bidding problem: 94 AK5 KJ98765 A
I'm the ONLY person to psyche the 3 splinter? Wow.
Dean Pokorny's bidding problem: AQJ82 A2 A QT964
I'll stick by my bid of 6, perfectly describing my hand. If he psyched, that's his problem. I'll likely not buy him a beer during the postmortem.
Normand Houle's bidding problem: x Jx QTxxxxx Kxx
I figured more like decent 5cd s and Hxx in s, with Hx+ in each dbltn, but yours may very well be right if the s are bankrupt.
Normand Houle's bidding problem: x Jx QTxxxxx Kxx
If so, I'd divorce partner. Poor psyche, and no need on bd 1, even of playoff. And remember, I psyche frequently.
