Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Your call
- RR, I regret that your eloquent remarks do not in the least succeed in dissuading me from holding fast to my position that 4♦ is a decidedly inferior rebid vis-a-vis 5♣. Having pummelled each other with arguments defending our respective views, without any noticeable dent in each other ...
- Your call
- RR - multiple: see my remarks upthread
- Your call
- RR, The only argument in favour of a 4♦ in lieu of 5♣ rebid by the 2NT overcaller is uncertainty (aka lack of trust?) over the intended meaning of the 3♦ advance. I have already argued downthread that anything other than the "what's in front of ...
- Your call
- RR - certainly Advancer can have your example hand IF his partnership style precludes a 1st/2nd seat preempt without hand pattern and value location (FWIW, I confess that I subscribe to such a style, and so facing myself the example you lay out would be a possibility). Having said that ...

- Your call
- On general principles, even in the absence of express discussion of this sequence (after all, who has the time to discuss the infinite auctions possible?), I would conclude that to bypass the "safety" of 3♣, particularly as a passed hand, Advancer surely (A) must have a ♣ fit, (B ...
- Bright and Zeller Win Imp Pairs
- Very very well done Bob!
- Play 6NT
- David, You ask a pertinent though premature question. Much more interesting and germane are East's 3 discards on the ♦'s played to T3-T5.
- What is the weaker call?
- David, At first blush that strikes me as an entirely sensible agreement, particularly in this ♠'s over ♥'s situation (there might even be case for the meaning to be nuanced as a function of vulnerability). In the heat of battle do you and Anne manage to systematically alert ...
