Sorry, this user has no cards yet.

Türker Tarhan's bidding problem: K7654 J3 A7665 K: I passed, but if the 5 of diamonds were another 6, I might open.
Bob Simkins's bidding problem: 7 J86532 8654 T7: It's a trade-off. I prefer to play 3♥ as preemptive. I can pass if I've got nothing, so 2♥ over 1♠ shows some values.
Bob Simkins's bidding problem: 7 J86532 8654 T7: They wouldn't be at 3♣ had I bid 3♥ at my first opportunity.
Martin Lindfors's bidding problem: KQ9874 KQT7 K KJ: In the original post. 2NT: Forcing heart raise
Optimum contract at Swiss teams: [b] At the table [/b] Partner and I got to 4♠ via 1♠ - 2N; 3♦ - 4♠. I got a diamond lead. Spades were 3-2 and diamonds 3-3 (queen offside) so wound up making 7. My partner and I were wondering if we should have gotten to ...
Optimum contract at Swiss teams: Ed, the "why" is what I'm looking for. Going down in a slam when your opponents have stopped in game can lose IMPs just as can stopping in game when the opponents make slam.

Martin Lindfors's bidding problem: KQ9874 KQT7 K KJ: So after South bids a [b]game forcing [/b] 2NT, a bid of 3♥ is not forcing? Incredible!
Optimum contract at Swiss teams: I like this. I'm going to suggest it to my partner. Thanks!
Martin Lindfors's bidding problem: KQ9874 KQT7 K KJ: What is 3♥?
