Four active BW members win IBPA Awards
Nice to win an award from IBPA, though Andy and I don't believe we deserve any recognition for correcting a score. It would be nice if the prize were 5 matchpoints.
Hanan Sher's bidding problem: 32 AT97632 75 K5
The seventh heart is my reason for bidding 2H. With 6, I would double and hope to have the opportunity to bid hearts later. 2H is only a one-round force, and partner can pass if I rebid 3H.

I know that one is supposed to be aggressive in pre-balancing when short in opponents' suit, but 1) you are not that short, 2)it is a live auction, 3) you are red, 4) partner can come in if LHO passes, and 5)maybe your partner would bid spades or ...
