Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Henry Bethe's bidding problem: K9754 J8 85 KQ42
- I would have bid 2♠ the first time. This doesn't show the same suit quality it does over a pass.
- Jeff Ford's bidding problem: 95432 A9 842 AJ8
- I thought so too Chris, but someone I mentor was getting conflicting advice from different people so it seemed like a good time to show them they can put hands up here for a wider range of opinions.
- Question About Alert Failures
- This director ruling is definitely wrong, even though it's not completely clear what the ruling should be. Firstly the director should have given the last player to take a call from the other side a chance to take a call. If this was the person asserting they would have ...
- Henry Bethe's bidding problem: 75 QT AK942 AKQ8
- If partner bids 3NT over 3♠ aren't they just going to run the hearts? On a spade to the ace, the switch will be obvious.

- It seems obvious that you should not be on an appeals committee where you are deciding who you will play in your next match. I'm surprised the player in this position did not recuse themselves after realizing what was happening.
- Why aren't you playing in the USBC?
- The "only advantage" is one that I suspect would lead to increased entries.
- Fantunes in Mid-Chart Events
- To be clear, the 1147 hand is obviously a psyche, and I wouldn't call the director there.
- Fantunes in Mid-Chart Events
- I think the director should be called when people are playing illegal methods *even if you don't have any trouble coping with them*. There are methods I would like to play that I think are better than what I am allowed to play under GCC rules that I don ...
- Polly Siegel's bidding problem: JT J5 KQT9653 KJ
- This hand is both too good overall and too good for play in spades to bid 3♦. It would be different if your spades were xx instead of J10. I prefer to stretch with 2♦ so I can bid and rebid them to 1NT which doesn't come ...
