Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Vugraph Malfunction?
- I wouldn't really care what my agreements are when the opponent calls for ♠Q from dummy at that stage. I'd play ♠10 if I had ♦K because when if not now is the time to finally tell my partner something useful? As south I'd definitely read ♠3 ...
- Challenge the WC quarterfinalists' declaring skills
- Hahaha, we could go on and on about this for hours.
- Challenge the WC quarterfinalists' declaring skills
- If north has 3424, I might just go for ♥ finesse. I'll know by then he has 3424 (okay, I could be tricked into believing this, with north pitching ♠9 from 109xx xxx xx xxxx)
- Challenge the WC quarterfinalists' declaring skills
- It didn't escape my attention. A ♥+♣ squeeze only works against north, so it's a showup squeeze anyway. Also, in order for that squeeze to be on, north needs at least 4-4 in the rounded suits and since I don't believe that north has less than ...
- Would you let 7!H stand?
- Definitely under 10 seconds (with screens)
- Would you let 7!H stand?
- Hi Marty, Thanks for your very detailed comment! I think it must occur to south that north have made a bidding error. How on earth could he possibly ask for aces, if south holds so many cards that could be important and if south is unlimited whereas north isn't ...
- Would you let 7!H stand?
- Hi Richard, Thanks for your comment. At the table, unfortunately 6♠ never occurred to me as a possibility. I was only focused on whether I could still bid 7♥ now, not how to actually achieve it. Pass and 7♥ were the only two bids that came to ...
- Would you let 7!H stand?
- Well, it was one of the questions being asked :) ("I'd like to ask your opinion on the 4♠ bid by north") And I agree that bidding 4♠ was somewhat short sighted and North should've see this problem coming. I argue that this case was an exception since ...
- Would you let 7!H stand?
- There was no written agreement about the failure to scan ♥Q showing all KC, but if I'm not mistaken the situation had once occurred. We agreed that this was a mutual understanding
- Would you let 7!H stand?
- Bernard, NS don't bid slam if they're short of a KC and the Queen of trumps. That being said, South can conclude that his partner must have ♥Q if he bids 6♥ but lacks a keycard. And if south has ♥Q, then all KC must be aboard.
