- Should you duck Kx?
- You will feel silly because covering would have ensured you of a trick. Whereas now you would have to rely on 1. Partner false carding 2. Declarer getting it wrong
- Should you duck Kx?
- You should cover because you should always take the legitimate play for the extra trick when you have nothing to go on. If partner has 109x you will feel pretty silly. Also if you cover quickly, declarer may still assume you have KT and try to drop it.
- Where did East-West go so far wrong on this hand?
- West initial pass fine. Dbl fine. This is not a forcing pass by any stretch of the imagination. Passed hand pushed into a game and also hard to imagine passed hand wants to bid at the 5 level. East should not double with 1 defensive trick. 5s is a real ...
- Attracting New Bridge Players
- Current generation of youth would be plenty happy to play a game called bumblepuppy. Look at the success of card games exploding kittens.. Unstable unicorns..
- What's this double?
- With no discussion I would assume penalty. In the long run, probably best to pay this specific double as takeout. I bet the likelihood of holding a penalty double here is nearing 0%. But it's such an infrequent and unlikely auction it doesn't really seem worth it to ...
- What would you have done?
- You should not call the director. If you think your opponents are cheating or have some weird agreement, just file a player memo. Then if it's a one time thing, nothing will come of it but if it happens repeatedly, there will be a record.

- I don't understand this April fools joke
- Fielding Partner's Forgetfulness
- 1. Partner should ask what 2c means before he bids. It's a good general practice. 2. I would pass 2s. If the 2c bidder has clubs, there's no chance partner is trying to transfer to clubs. If partner thinks they goofed, they would just pass 2c and beat ...
- Michael Seamon Junior USBC (Part 3)
- I like a precision club opener on the hand with eight clubs. If you open 2C your partner will never play you for this good a hand. South might like the KQ of clubs, but could never envision a game with barely any stoppers and only a seven point hand ...
- ATB - aggressive slam bidding
- Very amused that people would not open the North hand 1NT. Who cares what the hand is worth? Opening is not just about being constructive. 1NT makes life a lot harder for the opponents. Actual hand value often depends on what your partner has - if your partner has KJTx of ...
