- Jim Houghton's bidding problem: J8 AQJT86 T4 AQ9
- I wonder whether the vote would have been different had I presented these problems in the opposite order?
- Jim Houghton's bidding problem: Q7652 K AJ5 AT87
- When this hand came up, balancer held x AJx Txxxx Kxxx. Double dummy analysis showed that 1S can't make, and EW can make 2N. Vulnerability is decisive here.
- Jim Houghton's bidding problem: AK432 Q8 QJ7 QT9
- It might not be, but you will be down a bunch in 2N, the most popular alternative. Better -180 than -300 (or worse if east finds a double).
- Bas Van Der Hoek's bidding problem: KQJT98 --- A7543 42
- At this vul. pard will know I have a strong playing hand with limited defense.
- Eric Hamilton's bidding problem: KQ J7 AKJ52 T874
- Seems clear to bid, as both sides have a 9-card fit (at least). Expect pard to correct to 4D if that is his minor.
- Ron Lel's bidding problem: AK984 Q AT2 AKT8
- Don't need much from partner to have good play for 3NT. Pass if opponents vul.
- Hanoi Rondón's bidding problem: x xx AJ7xxx ATxx
- Pick a slam - 6C or 6D.
- Robert Schachter's bidding problem: QJT976 4 Q9632 8
- They haven't made it yet, and sacrificing could be too costly if partner lacks diamond help. Other EW pairs might not be in 3N.
- Goran Cekol's bidding problem: Q AJT KT7654 AK7
- My hand is playable in 3 suits, and the overall strength compensates for the lack of a 4th heart. If pard bids 2N (Lebensohl), I'll bid 3D.
- David Caprera's bidding problem: ATxx xxx Kxxx Qx
- What else?
