Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- You are now the King/Queen of the ACBL, what next?
- Bring Bridge to the Digital age: Digital bidding and play Digital CC database Digital time keeping of every action.
- How do you play this double?
- How can one answer that question without knowing what 2♠ is? I can't imagine that this 2♠ overcall could just be "single suit spades not suitable for a 1♠ overcall"... In some of my partnerships the 2♠ bid would implicitly show 4 spades and 5 ...

- Memories of Margie
- Me three! (And I bet the list could go on to at least "me one thousand"...)
