- Polly Siegel's bidding problem: AK83 A972 Q72 92
- That would make me much more likely to double. Close now.
- Polly Siegel's bidding problem: AK83 A972 Q72 92
- I was asked to comment. I don't like letting them play on the 2-level, but I have shown my hand already. In fact, I have TWO (not 1) clubs -- so am happy to defend. Could easily be that -90 is better than -100. Also, they could easily be in ...
- LC Standard -- Weak Two-Bids
- Modern style for most would be 3♥ on that hand, not vul -- but it is a matter of opinion--no right or wrong. Occasionally, I've opened a weak-2 with a 7-card suit--more likely if vulnerable with something like: ♠Kx ♥Q1075432 ♦xx ♣xx.
- LC Standard -- Simple Overcall
- No strong feelings on any of this. Pros and cons to all. Suffice to say that this is SIMPLE, EASY TO REMEMBER and exactly what David Berkowitz and I used successfully for 20 years. If anyone wishes to modify it, enjoy and good luck. No big deal either way and ...
- LC Standard -- Carding
- Yuan, Thanks for the kind words and appreciation. Some answers: 1) No plans (not for now, anyway) to make this into a book -- but that's not a bad idea :) 2) I am not a marketing guy -- but it would be nice to have more exposure for BW, LC Standard ...
- LC Standard -- Carding
- I give in. I hear everyone. I think I agree. I've changed this section to plain old vanilla standard. Let the experienced players add all the fancy stuff. Let's go with the basics for LCStandard -- which is good enough for Hamman, so good enough for me.
- LC Standard -- Carding
- Tough question with no perfect answer. I've talked to many of the top pairs who have this conflict (not just in the Meckwell/LC situation, but with other carding methods). As best I can tell, the most common agreement is: "low means you like it" -- so low from Q10x ...
- LC Standard -- Carding
- Brian, I don't go into this with Intermediate-Level students. I just cover your basic (win the ace of a suit and give partner a ruff with a S.P. card) situation. As a teacher, I think it is important to stress ATTITUDE -- and try not to get too much ...
- LC Standard -- Carding
- LC Standard -- Carding
- Good question. I see much more advantage to U.D. att. than count. I think many people got comfortable making the switch to U.D. Att, but didn't want to also switch to U.D. count. For most of my students, I recommend, neither, of course. For LC Standard ...
