Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- The notorious doctors
- MR: "In team sports, it is accepted practice to try to 'get away' with stuff. In bridge, it is not." In some team sports. Perhaps many/most. In curling it is most certainly not accepted practice.
- Bridge on "Corrie" .... including some cheating
- Next week: Those characters weren't actually cheating... it was their Evil Twins.
- Michael Hopkins's bidding problem: J43 AK A872 Q842
- Just in my own partnership, this one could be grounds for divorce. I'm bidding 3♥, and raising with two-card support will not please partner. But in our partnership, her bid is hopefully 2N for clubs and hearts and cramping opposition, and the club fit's on.

- 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 ...
