- Michael: I think that if you could abide/tolerate a 1NT response you should choose an action other than 7NT.
- Leonard Helfgott's bidding problem: 863 QT QT653 J94
- Even if you would pass initially, I think bidding with 5Hcp and a working card is very reasonable, and passing (after 1NT) with TWO cover cards (when opener bids your QTxxx suit)seems beyond the pale. As I understand it the JS is a 100% gameforce. If not how does ...

- “I’ll second that emotion.”
- ATB: Wrong red suit?
