- Jeff Ford's bidding problem: 95432 A9 842 AJ8
- I would rather wear shoes a hair too tight than walk around barefoot outside. But it doesn't matter because this pair fits great. Wtp?
- Reprise-5
- When it comes to takeout doubles or notrump bids, obviously actions have to start lighter in balancing seat than direct seat. However for overcalls we play pretty much exactly the same in balancing seat as in direct seat. Overcalls are already pretty light and I wouldn't want them to ...
- Filippos Karamanlis's bidding problem: Kxx JT9xxxx xx x
- The passers are totally missing the boat in my opinion. This is vul at imps and you are already at 3♥. Who cares if you would have raised to 2♥ on the hand partner is showing since obviously partner doesn't agree as he didn't do it.
- Greg Herman's bidding problem: --- A86543 KT52 AJ9
- I agree, but mix up your strategy and bid RKC sometimes too.
- Kevin Lane's bidding problem: K5 AT6 AK42 AQT4
- 4NT has to be an attempt to play. When responder's second suit is diamonds I play the other major is RKC for the diamonds, 5♣ and higher are RKC answers for the major. It saves space over using 5♣ as RKC for anything, and is simple to ...
- Reprise-4
- If you play 2-way checkback of some kind then you can stop in 2♦ anyway via the 2♣ bid. Is it really worth giving up all the advantages it brings just to add the ability to play in 2♣ as well? But I still don't mind ...
- Sam Lichtenstein's bidding problem: 93 AKQ8 AJ9743 A
- Me too. Assuming 2♥ is consistent with the agreements rather than it showing a balanced hand, I like the whole auction to this point. I think 5♦ "should" be continuing to cuebid for clubs, thus promise a first round spade control with a diamond cuebid. But I think ...
- ATB
- Double looks perfectly normal to me. Doubling followed by rebidding notrump looks like the only plan that can come close to describing our hand, and particularly it will get our precise strength across. Of course I don't like having a stiff spade, but nor do I like making a ...
- you be the judge
- 5♦ seems completely normal to me. I gave 50-50 since I think passing 1♣ and bidding 3♦ are both pretty hopeless.
- You revoked: do you admit it?
- Peter/John, regarding voluntarily accepting a penalty. If I were playing against myself, and I told the other me at the end of the hand that I had revoked, the other me would not call the director or try to receive a penalty trick if the revoke hadn't gained ...
