Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Raise to 2NT
- Interesting suggestion; I'll discuss it with my partner.
- Raise to 2NT
- Sorry, I should have included that 1NT is a one round force.
- Barry Plotkin's bidding problem: AKx AKJxxx K9xx ---
- I don't understand the 2♦ bids. Do you really eat to risk partner passing 2♦? 3♥ is a much superior bid than 2♦; I would much rather play the latter than the former. That said, 3♦ is much better than 3♥ because it ...
- Can an invitational-classed club game restrict entry in this manner?

- I was S and had KQx in clubs, a spade stopper, and no heart stopper.
- Does this auction imply a club stopper?

- Does this auction imply a club stopper?
- After an inverted minor raise, the normal procedure is to cue bid stoppers, looking for a NT game. If opener didn't have clubs stopped, it would be suicidal to cue bid a major at the 3 level to try to find a NT game. Therefore, 3S must be showing ...
