- 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?
- Actually, it's neither of your clubs; it's the one I recently joined after moving here. The game in question has no posted upper limit, but the A bracket is more than 500 master points. At the other club games, the A bracket is more than 2,000 master ...
- Can an invitational-classed club game restrict entry in this manner?

- Board 27 from the 03/28/2018 Common Game
- After E opens 1D in 4th seat, and W bids 1H, what should N call?
- Does this auction imply a club stopper?
- I was S and had KQx in clubs, a spade stopper, and no heart stopper.
- Does this auction imply a club stopper?
- I'm the opening bidder, and I bid 3S. My rationale is that after an inverted minor suit raise, you bid stoppers up the line to try to get to a NT contract. (An inverted raise is not a game force, though; only a one-round force.) With that in mind ...
- 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 ...
- Does this auction imply a club stopper?
- With six diamonds and five spades, I would think that the bid would be 4S, not 3S.
- What is your plan?
- Does it matter that the 1NT bid was actually in 4th seat, and not in 1st seat as shown here?
