- Comparable Call Issue
- Haha! Good one, Ed. It's only recently that the club introduced the idea of a free session for the TD.
- Comparable Call Issue
- This still often ends up being the case, though, John. The other day, I was party to a new wrinkle on the comparable call fiasco. I was dealer and my LHO opens 1♠ out of turn. My partner rejects it and I open 2NT, LHO passes and partner raises ...

- It's very easy as a rookie director to get waved away. As a grizzled veteran, not so much.
- Break In Tempo
- What Ed said. The other tables might have reached the same final contract but we have no knowledge of the auctions taken to reach that contract. As such, the play could well be significantly different at each table, based on the information they are each working with. As a simple ...
