- Chris Gibson's bidding problem: KT9 J97542 K8 T9
- I'm hoping my lead of the diamond king doesn't embarrass us too much.
- Yuan Shen's bidding problem: Jxx KTx J8x A9xx
- I think a lot of problems like this are solved by agreeing that fast arrival to game is the weakest path (in context). I know a lot of people don't like fast arrival, and I know it can be inferior in certain situations, but I LOVE the idea that ...
- Poll for Anant's Stats Class
- 1. Advanced (although if "World Class" was an option, I might choose expert) 2. Silver LM 3. 2ish.
- Tom Allan's bidding problem: 7 8 AT72 KQJ9765
- ♠7. This WAS an opening lead problem, wasn't it? ;)
- Polly Siegel's bidding problem: JT J5 KQT9653 KJ
- I was ready to click "vote" for 3D when I thought again and realized that if there's even a CHANCE partner will misinterpret 3D it's not worth it. After 1NT I have a very good chance of describing my hand without a misunderstanding.
- Polly Siegel's bidding problem: JT J5 KQT9653 KJ
- If Polly's opening bid style is anything like mine, you'll get over game forcing with hands like this real quick. :)
- Two-Way New Minor Forcing
- You don't list a meaning for 2NT. With many partners I use this as a relay to 3C for signoff purposes.
- Max Aeschbacher's bidding problem: AK4 AQJ98 KQT43 ---
- Found it annoying by opponents, or by partner? :)
- Appeal Procedure - Timing
- "... reviewing the hands and trying to decide whether they should appeal." This process is common, and troubles me greatly. If they felt that the ruling on THAT HAND was wrong, they should appeal it. They should absolutely never appeal just because they wanted to win the match and the scores ...
- Greg Humphreys's bidding problem: xxxx Q AKT976 Ax
- I've converted partner's X to penalty by trying to pass out 1DX. This should establish penalty doubles for the rest of the auction. I probably don't have any cashing diamonds, but declarer won't be able to set up his diamond suit either. I have the ace ...
