Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Another Reese-Schapiro Hand
- If you read Wilsmore's book, you'll note he found actual witches.
- Repeat Locations for Nationals
- "Here’s an analogy: In the sports world...the tennis majors are always in London, Paris, Melbourne and NY -- they don't go to XYZ, OH just to rotate around." Seriously? Those tournaments have thousands of 'kibitzers' turning up daily, many of whom pay well over $100 to watch the ...
- Comments please, on this 2D opening
- Just more evidence, I think, that 2♦ should be a gadget opener, not weak. Even this hand (six diamonds and a quacky 9-count) isn't a weak-2 that most people are happy with. White, as dealer, I'm opening this 1♦. I'm also risking having to walk ...
- Tough bidding challenge for BOTH partners
- I don't like the 2♣ open because with this hand I haven't played methods where responder is going to be able to tell me what I need to know. Open 1♦, rebid 3♣ and hope Partner knows what to do.
- Easier Than Eleven
- This hand is awfully quacky to open 1N IMO. If I get to open 1♦ and rebid 2♣ I think I've described my hand almost perfectly (since methods have me 5-4 either way), and perfectly cheaply.
- A thought experiment...how much would it be worth to see dummy before the lead?
- Link was posted here in a prior thread to a write-up... I can't find it. Punchline is that the baseball players could look at each other's hands for a few seconds BUT the hands were constructs, not random deals. Zany distributions, entry issues etc.
- Thank you Zia!
- Warms the heart.
- To Record or Not To Record, That is the Question
- How does W not drive to slam here? 15 HCP (feat. 3 bullets) and a void in the enemy suit opposite a second seat vulnerable opener. If I'm W I demand my god-given right to go down in six of something.
- Which is the agreed trumf suit?
- If responder had bid 2N instead of 2♦, what would 2N show?
- Crunch Time
- Can we please stop feeding Felix? Cheers.
