Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Is THIS purgatory?
- Oh, Henry; this is hysterical! Reminds me a bit of the woman who called the director. She needed a double card for her bid box. He looked, though, and saw that she had some in there. "Oh," she remarked. "Those are all the penalty doubles, the ones with the 'D ...
- Is THIS purgatory?
- This is not quite germane to the discussion, but some years ago I remember the opponents in a KO asking for us to explain some agreements. We did so, and they commented, "Well; that's a stupid way to play that." Yes, it was quite satisfying to beat them handily ...
- Bidding Practice vs Playing Practice
- Kit - this sounds exceptionally useful - particularly with someone as accomplished and knowledgeable as you are! "Just bidding" like this sounds like an entirely different story.
- Bidding Practice vs Playing Practice
- I think that I must have not made myself clear. It is not for declarer play and defense that I think playing practice sessions are necessary (though, of course, they serve a purpose). It's that I think a myriad of sequences FOR BIDDING arise during competition that cannot be ...
- Bidding Practice vs Playing Practice

- Hugh Williams's bidding problem: A K976432 98 A82
- 5♥ is my choice. Nevertheless, I understand that Hugh's double could work out better, or even pass.... Swap my spade A for the ♥A - and I agree that it's a solid 5♥ call.
- Hugh Williams's bidding problem: K3 JT65 QT32 A82
- Heh; wonder what the mate is to this hand :)
- Hugh Williams's bidding problem: A K976432 98 A82
- Frankly, I didn't know what the hell to bid. Horrible problem!
- Missed Game
- Opener certainly could have made a game try over 2♥. Still, I maintain that responder only raising to 2♥ rather than showing a 3 card limit raise is far more clear. Of course, game isn't cold - but certainly quite sound. I assume everyone would want to be ...
- In the Well: Sabine Auken
- Uh, Sabine - as far as the Bermuda Bowl goes, if anyone can get there the old fashioned way (you EARN it!) - it would be you!
