Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- ACBL Query into District Finances.
- I applaud the ACBL's desired insight into the financial health of Districts and Units that have the heavy burden of much of the health of our game.
- Stéphane Turcotte's bidding problem: AJ3 9542 KQ83 93
- 3♥ sounds first like a game-try rather than slammish. In light of this my hand shows wasted values in ♦ and completes nothing in ♥ with 9xxx.
- Paul Hightower's bidding problem: 652 AJ3 K KQ7432
- I like 3♠ as relay to 3NT in all auctions, to play or for slammish hands like these.
- Jean La Traverse's bidding problem: --- --- A987653 AKQ862
- With 94% approval on the 1♦ opening, not much traction around 4NT opening, although not surprising. Thanks everyone.
- Jean La Traverse's bidding problem: --- --- A987653 AKQ862
- 4NT was suggested by a well respected local player, but it appears to not have much interest
- Benoit Lessard's bidding problem: J8xxx 8x A9 KTxx
- Switch the ♠ with the ♥ and I have sympathy for 1♥ overcall. If this hand is ours I can show bad ♠ later in the auction
- Daylight Savings Time
- Thank you for the update. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this NABC BoG meeting. I have secured a proxy. Good bridge to all attending and best of luck to our District 1 representatives in the three NAP flights.
- Who Will Win Open World Bridge Games?
- I did not vote but I'll be rooting for my Canadian friends Kamel, Nic, Zyg and Fred with Nicolas and Judy
- Drew Casen's bidding problem: xx xx KJTxx AKxx
- I prefer 2♣ to show majors allowing partner to bid 2♦ showing equal length in majors. At this VUL I expect partner to be 5-5 but I've seen 4-5-0-4 patterns before. Passing 2♦ is not an option for me
- Stéphane Turcotte's bidding problem: xxx xxx AKQTx Ax
- ♠ Void ♥ K1098xx ♦ Jxx ♣ KJ9x Probably not enough for 5♥ or 5♣
