Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Yuan Shen's bidding problem: --- A8 JT7x AKQ9xxx
- I would open a strong ♣ with no regrets whatsoever..
- Assess the blame
- 3♥ seems automatic..can't imagine why he would only bid 2...
- Robin Hillyard's bidding problem: T6 KQ52 KQ853 K3
- It would never occur to me in 100 years to DBL with 5 card ♦ support...why create a potential disaster when you have an easy 3♦ bid?
- Kostas Vovos's bidding problem: AQ432 A2 A432 A2
- I once had the auction start like this and bid and made 7♦. I can picture the perfecto where 6♦ is a decent spot, but ♠ will only make 5. For example: ♠Kxx ♥xxx ♦KQxx ♣xxx
- Roger Lee's bidding problem: 752 AQ K6432 K64
- My real decision is whether to bid on or not. Once I make the decision to bid, I think 5♥ is pretty much free and might get us to a good grand if partner has something like: ♠Ax ♥x ♦AQx ♣AQJTxxx.
- Ryan Wessels's bidding problem: QJT2 4 AQ9 AK632
- If DBL was penalty, I would make that bid...but in the 21st century expert world, it shows some "transferrable extra values", etc,etc, and partner (lacking ♠) will bid something that causes me a further problem next time. If partner has enough for us to be making a game ...
- Zachary Madden's lead problem: 984 43 T7652 J73
- Not losing the post mortem is always a goal...leading partner's suit (with no particularly great alternative) can hardly be criticized. If NOT leading it was wrong, I will never hear the end of it...
- Adrian Soucaliuc's bidding problem: K86432 94 JT93 3
- If I could bar partner I might try 4♠. Otherwise too likely I will be in 6♠...
- Tom Allan's bidding problem: K6 KJ5 JT874 AQ3
- I don't like the DBL of 2♠ either (as several others have pointed out). I think 2NT pretty accurately describes what you have...♥ raise, better than minimum, pointed suits stopped. When partner signs off in 3♥, I am done..
- Gary Miller's lead problem: 543 K64 JT KJ753
- I encourage using whatever methods I employ...Partner will always cash the ♣A if he has it..
