- Ron Smith's bidding problem: x AQxx AKJTx xxx
- Is this North's hand we're looking at, or West's?
- A Third Option for Regional KOs - Stratified Swiss KOs
- With the Stratified Swiss proposal, I could see a Strat B team that finished fourth in the Swiss KO being unhappy with that result -- they would rather play in the Bracket 2 KO against other Strat B teams instead of feeling like a long shot in the Bracket 1 KO ...
- Michaels Cuebid
- My partner and I distinguish between a "could be short" bid and a completely artificial bid (like a strong 1♣). Over the "could be short" bid, the opener often has that suit (just as a normal "3+" minor often has 4 or more), so we bid as we normally ...
- Gary Ansok's bidding problem: J9 T95 AJ973 K94
- I was considering bidding 2♦, but decided to pass. But I was wondering (even before I saw partner's hand) for how many people this might be a third-hand favorable weak 2. 1♦ didn't even cross my mind. One hand doesn't prove anything, of course, but ...
- Rohit Gupta's bidding problem: T9652 A6 T3 AJ94
- My original comment was written before I noticed that the hand in question was a passed hand; perhaps I should have removed it. If 1N isn't forcing (because you're a passed hand or for any other reason), then I wouldn't even consider it here.
- Rohit Gupta's bidding problem: T9652 A6 T3 AJ94
- Just noticed you are a passed hand -- in that case I'd use Drury or just bid 4♠. Original comment: Would 1♠ - 1N (forcing) - 2x - 4♠ be a possible sequence for you? This is what a partner and I agreed on after a similar hand. Otherwise, I ...
- More National Events
- I've been mulling over some possible ways to make the limited NABC championships a little bit more inviting compared to similar Regional-rated events. 1st and 2nd get their pictures in the monthly Bulletin, but what about the rest? One thought, for games that award gold points anyway, would be ...
- Steven Mcgrahan's bidding problem: K9852 KT A43 A32
- If I was going to do something other than Pass here, I probably should have done that on the last round.
- 3 cards
- The only lead that causes any problems for me is a ♦, so I have to assume that's what W will lead when he finishes spades. If I throw two ♦ from dummy, then E-W can force me to use my A♦ before I have the clubs unblocked ...
- ACBL Attendance Dropoff - 2016-2018
- Robert, midweek I see the D21 regionals have "Open Pairs 5000/+", "Midflight Pairs 1500/3000" and "Gold Rush Pairs 300/750". I don't know how successful they are, but I like the idea too.
