- RIP Bill Wickham
- Sadly, Bill just moved back to the Chicago area and began enjoying retirement a couple of years ago. I'm heading out now to the home game in the suburbs that he liked to play at. We'll pour one out for you bud.
- Negative Doubles Over NT - Questions
- For your question #5, opener can also bid 2nt natural in response to the shmack because the dbl shows values. good luck!
- Flat Hand Double
- check out this article: http://bridgewinners.com/article/view/off-shape-takeout-doubles/
- Terry Adamik's bidding problem: KQJ A98763 A Q76
- I'd definitely just overcall 1 heart--your hand is more than strong enough to reopen with a double if they raise diamonds, which seems like the most likely scenario.
- Frank Lin's bidding problem: T652 AQ4 K83 A43

- Mike Wolf's bidding problem: AK964 JT AQJ3 92
- I'm passing pretty comfortably--I like the agreement in these situations is that the default bid is opener's major with 2 (instead of bidding a new suit with 4). With this agreement partner is fairly likely to have 5 hearts and if not will have spade shortness.
- In the Well: Justin Lall
- Hey Justin, Thanks for being in the well! What is your favorite memory from junior bridge?
- Continuations after opener rebids diamonds
- I play cheapest new suit is like 4th suit forcing--so possibly artificial and game forcing
- Drew Becker's lead problem: Ax KJT QTx KT87x
- Thanks for the votes--On the actual hand dummy was 3-1-3-6 with A-j of diamonds and q-j of clubs and declarer had 6-3-3-1 with solid spades missing the ace, A-q of hearts, K of diamonds and A of clubs. Without the ace of spades lead and trump continuation, declarer can ruff ...
- Chuck Messinger's bidding problem: J9 KQJT6 4 A9873
- I like the raise to 2nt as (17)18-19. I generally open 1NT if balanced with a 5cM, but if you want to open 1M with some 15-16 balanced it doesn't seem like you'd be giving up too much to rebid a minor over 1NT--you can still bid ...
