Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- What do these show?
- I am a junior, and play (1m)-X-(1M)-X as psych-exposing. Maybe I will have no need for this in a few years, but for now...
- Brian Zhang's bidding problem: A8 KJ983 KJ76 T4
- For me, sort of depends on agreements as to what hand types bid 3♦. If it's just about the diamond quality, then by all means.
- Best approach to this card combo
- Hope declarer's LHO has KJx. Run the 8 to the J, then smother the T while finessing the K with the Q. I agree with Khokan, but this is what the intrafinesse would be (I think -- someone correct me if I'm wrong).
- What is your call and plan?
- Love option 3, keep em on their toes
- Undo or No undo ?
- Yes, I'm just trying to show that there is straightforward evidence that he wasn't making it up upon leading something bizarre and seeing dummy.
- Undo or No undo ?
- The claim that the cards switched completely holds. BBO arranges the cards ♠-♥-♣-♦ prior to trump being decided, meaning that the ♣9 would have been Meck's 11th card from the left. After trump has been decided, BBO arranges the cards trump first, and then alternating colors ...
- Matchgame: Double Trouble #2
- Another one worth discussing is 1♦-1NT-(2♥)-P-X
- Raphael Hallerman's bidding problem: KJ 8543 A4 A7654
- Trap-passers and bidders: could you explain your reasoning? I'm mostly interested in the first call, not what to do over the X. I've made a poll for the first action now, as I'm guessing that many people have not bothered to read what I wrote (understandable).
- Raphael Hallerman's bidding problem: KJ 8543 A4 A7654
- Seems about right. I expect most votes other than 7♥/7♠/7NT to be for Pass. Mostly curious how many people WOULD choose to pass 2♣ with this hope. If you think that the wording of the problem is somehow biased towards passing, I could definitely repost ...
