- Steve Zolotow's bidding problem: K2 AKT653 763 92
- Who said I didn’t like it? I simply get more out of the rationale for any choice than the choice per se.
- Colin Baker's bidding problem: AK6 AQJ98432 53 ---
- Here, however, even on a favorable lead our mission in 6S is far from accomplished.
- Steve Zolotow's bidding problem: K2 AKT653 763 92
- Saying “I like spaghetti” needs no explanation. Saying “I like 1H” could do with one.

- Why stop at 3S? Why not double = takeout however many times they bid spades, right up to the 5 or 6 level? ;-) ;-)
- Richard Fleet's bidding problem: QT5 9764 AQ A953
- My admittedly-infrequent dabbling in cruise bridge has left me with the distinct impression that disregard for the likelihood of “generous” opposing defense will leave us shy of the prestigious winner’s circle. My past cruise-bridge partners have had reliable values for weak 2’s.
