Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- What to do when all your finesses will fail.
- Congratulations on your nice table feel, and your pairs win.
- Jeff Ford's bidding problem: A984 J9874 A54 T
- (disclaimer, I was at the other table, but I don't remember this hand). Even though their competition makes your diamond holding golden, you still have a 8 loser 9 count with a crappy trump suit - I see no reason to stretch to a non-vulnerable game when partner will go ...
- Jeff Ford's bidding problem: AQ653 83 J54 A73
- By the way, it just occurred to me that on a hand where I make fun of TBZ for not being aggressive enough, it may be that I am crazy.
- Jeff Ford's bidding problem: AQ653 83 J54 A73
- I think that making game is more likely than down 1 in 3 opposite the range of hands partner can have, despite your pleas to the contrary. Even if we go down, it is likely a good save over whatever they balance into at this or other tables, so I ...
- Jeff Ford's bidding problem: AQ653 83 J54 A73
- This is an exceptional & pure hand, 3 guaranteed cover cards and additional playing strength beyond. I raise to 3.
- Is THIS purgatory?
- These stories are awesome. Nice feature.
- Jeff Ford's bidding problem: 95432 A9 842 AJ8
- I understand you disagree, Henry, but look at the poll. You are standing alone against the tide of progress. Also, in my partnerships, 3♦ promises reverse strength & shape, since it is a suit I have not bid nor implied (a very common treatment, but not universal) - I'm happy ...
- Jeff Ford's bidding problem: 95432 A9 842 AJ8
- This is a standard negative double, I don't really understand why this is a problem hand.
- Tom Allan's bidding problem: JT82 KT5 KT32 J5
- I would have passed 1N.
- Greg Herman's bidding problem: --- A86543 KT52 AJ9
- While I agree a mixed strategy may be best, this doesn't seem like the hand for it. Depending on partner's hand, I may want a spade or a diamond lead - I don't know which lead I actually want to inhibit. If lefty is looking at Kx of ...
