Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- You be the judge!
- Pass is not a LA. I think 5♥ could be bid. A question is whether partner would bid 6♠ over this.
- Nikolas Bausback's bidding problem: A84 KJ95 --- QT7652
- I would have bid 5♦ not 4♦. Partner has a hand too strong to overcall 1♠ - I need KQxxxx, Ax, xx, AKx for 7♠
- World Bridge Series Team Winners
- I think the performance of Michal Klukowski is incredible - the man is a junior and has just won his fourth world championship. His bridge was a pleasure to watch !
- He is Gambling
- How about bidding 3♦ instead of 3♣. If opps were going to bid, it will help partner decide. If they were not it will only be bad if you get too high which seems unlikely with this playing strength. Note that 5♦ makes

- Bad Lead or Sleeping Defender or Both?
- On lead the first question is whether an active or passive lead is required. As I have no stops in the red suits, I would think active and lead a club. But bad lead is too strong.
- Find that Ace
- Kit - you criticise Easts pass of 3NT, even though he scored +600. Double would have led to 4♣ and not such a large plus score. Agreed - it could have gone wrong, but as South is clearly taking a risk, bidding on does not seem to be mandatory.
- Does a BIT always imply UI
- The answer to the question is no. BIT means partner has something to think about - if he makes a very strange bid then there is no UI. In this case you were clearly thinking about bidding or doubling, so there was UI. I would bid 4NT as West - whether pass ...
