- The Worst Convention Ever
- Originally with the Montreal Relay 1♣ - 1M showed a suit where you'd be willing to accept a three card raise as opposed to guaranteeing a 5 card suit.
- The Worst Convention Ever
- How about my opponents' auction? 2♣ - 2♦ 3♦ - 4NT 5♦ - 5♥ 6♦ - 6♥ 7♦ - 7♥ P
- The Best Convention Ever
- I know mine probably doesn't :-(
- More VuGraph Coming
- Greenwich Mean Time
- Should Michaels require an alert?
- Sometimes it requires an alert and sometimes an announcement depending on what the rest of the hand's distribution could be and whether it is forcing or not. http://www.acbl.org/clubs_page/club-administration/club-directors/rulings-faq/alertsannouncements-for-1%E2%99%A31%E2%99%A6-opening-bids/
- A Modest Proposal
- It's an interesting idea but it doesn't address the inherent unfairness of determining your strat before the results are in. In a multi-session event, you'd have to reconfigure the stratifications after session awards are given out.
- Best Hand Held After Partner Opens
- I held AKJ,AKxx,KQJx,QJ and heard partner open 1S and rebid 2H. Finding partner with 1KC I bid 6H and got the "don't bid Blackwood with 2 quick losers" lecture when partner held QTxxx,QJxx,Ax,xx. No Gary, I never played with him again. :-)
- Why play a Big !C or Precision?
- I used to play Schenken which is a strong club with four card majors.
- 1NT opening range.
- With opening bids lighter today than in Kaplan's time, I would expect a balanced 12-14 in 4th seat after 3 passes to be quite rare.
- 3 card major suit responses
- ACBL clubs can allow or disallow whatever they like unless it's a mult-site event like a STaC. When I played with Doug we were allowed at two of the local clubs to play the transfer responses as long as we pre-alerted.
