Reflections on Seattle - Part 1
I should also add, if you have the heart ace or diamond king, along with the spade queen, what is declarer doing leading a diamond at trick 2? While I concede it's possible that a diamond by declarer would be correct some of the time, I firmly believe it ...
Reflections on Seattle - Part 1
I think the spade jack is correct, and that your partner should've ducked the first diamond. Imagine declarer with K10 x AKJxx QJxxx. The hearts are double stopped in your partner's hand, and playing any spade other than the jack will cost you a trick. As far as ...

[b]was the reason john kranyak was not invited to any of your "sence" games is because he's just too awesome to play against???[/b] No, actually. He mostly wasn't invited to the game because we forgot to roll out the red carpet so that he could present ...

[b]Congrats on player of the year. How did you end up playing with Gavin in Louisville in the Silodor?[/b] Johnny didn't want to play. He likes taking off in the middle of the nationals sometimes just to have a break. I've played a little bit with ...
