- Statement from Jimmy Cayne
- That Nick Martino is one perceptive cookie!
- Statement from Jimmy Cayne
- I have a question for you, Carl, and I ask it with all due respect to your considerable bridge knowledge and expertise. If authorities had clear and convincing proof that a pair (any pair not this specific one) were found guilty of illegal signaling in numerous events, but not enough ...
- Mario Fonzo's bidding problem: AQ97 9 AK8 AKJ83
- If you're not fond of the initial Dbl of 1♠, what would you suggest is superior? I guess I could have started this out in steps and asked what you would bid over 1♠ with the South hand. What seems best over 1♠ instead of the ...

- Calling on the expert community to do the right thing.
- "Unwitting?"
- Implementing a Better System to Detect Cheating
- Apparently it's not detecting them that's the problem. In other threads we see that most everyone knows the few pairs who are actively cheating at the top. It's successfully convicting them that's the problem.
