- For the Anything Goes File -- Multi-1NT???
- I agree with Craig's suggestion. But answering the original post, I think what you have in mind is legal if 1NT is forcing. If it's non-forcing, I think you're out of luck. See Open Chart, Opening Bids, #6. http://web2.acbl.org/documentLibrary/about/181AttachmentD.pdf Whether ...
- An Embarrassing Unintended Pass
- @Richard Fleet: Language (of which bridge bidding is an example) is contextual. If you are in a context in which "Bergen raise etc." has more meaning to your audience than "4-card limit raise", then I think it's reasonable to argue the former is superior. I've certainly played against ...

- Donations Needed
- I don't suppose you could arrange with BBO for us to donate BB$ to Bridgewinners, could you?
- Today's problems were yesterday's problems too
