- Do You Have Any Fun/Funny Lesson Hands for Intermediates?
- That is not a beginner hand for sure in my eyes. Even intermediate might be stretching it. I guess there are a decent amount of intermediate players that could solve this problem, but not many at all who are close to being able to make these plays at the table ...
- World Junior Final - Board 73
- given the opponent's 14-16 notrump range, I thought it was very likely he would get it right once he went into the tank. I think the correct play, well done.
- Unclear auction
- Whoever bid 4d undiscussed made a mistake, they should not do this. However, the best way to play is that 4d is natutal - a real slam try with good trumps. If I'm forced to guess, I guess natural, but I am obviously going to take a call either way ...
- ATB Time
- Part of the definition of a normal takeout double includes hands which are too strong to overcall
- Very slow suit preference signals
- I also think that a 20 sec pause midtrick to decide what signal to give is not, or at least should not, be ok.
- Jim Munday's bidding problem: xxx x Jxxx AKQxx
- I think there is a huge difference between "not preempting over a preempt" when they open a weak 2, as opposed to "preempting" in this auction. Preempts are much more effective when a (10) card fit has already been found. There is great value in being able to jump-raise to ...
- Jim Munday's bidding problem: xxx x Jxxx AKQxx
- I agree with Richards second point, but his 1st point implied that weakish hands with 5 spades should no longer bid 4s on this auction. I disagree with this personally, and I think it's not at all clear. I'd play that 4s on this auction can just be ...
- Cover or not ?
- Even if partner has 4 hearts to the 9, covering won't defeat the contract.
- "Flexible signals" (part two)
- B is a good point. I think with a holding like 98642, if we were going to lie with a strict 2/4 lead agreements, we should play 8 then 6. This distinguishes from 98x.
- "Flexible signals" (part two)
- maybe AJ7...
