Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Was this (not) funny enough?
- I saw no indication E was trying to stop Yu and not his own partner from talking. And E is right -- this isn't a question that needs an answer before the play of the hand; in fact asking the question itself at that point may be inappropriate.
- Yor lead
- There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand statistics and those who don't, plus or minus 8.
- What are the ruling principles here?
- Good point by John: South bid 1♠, and the tray came back to him at the 7 level. Unless he took noticeably more than, say, 15 seconds, it would take some doing to convince me it was a tempo break at all.

- Update -- Grue and Levin Win Blue Ribbon Pairs
- The original topic on BW is always "Why wasn't I consulted?"
- Open Honolulu Discussion Thread
- The table fees at NYC clubs are a big reason I don't play these days. The semiannual Regionals are cheaper.
