- Apportion the blame - no play slam
- I play that all that EAST”s pass shows is NO cue bid in spades. Double is shortness, bidding shows ace or king. West has a clear double.
- Is this 3 club bid forcing or not forcing playing 2over1 using standard agreements
- Funny, where I come from this is standard NON forcing. “All good hands start with double” Surely worth discussing. Good case can be made for dbl=kind of a 2nt bid or better so you can use 2nt as a bid that forces partner to bid 3cl to SO in ...

- David, according to your earlier comment I was not supposed to know that he showed heart support and shortness in spades. If this is true, and I think it is, how could I alert 3♠ ? Am I missing something? Or is this just to difficult.

- read it all, over and over again.

- Sounds like nobody read what I had to say about all of this and it’s getting quit ridiculous. This is just not how bridge works. 2♣-2♦-2♥-...... what you EXPECT is 2♠ or 2NT and you are ready to alert this. Suddenly the CHO bids 3 ...

- David, very good point. I never realized till I read your comment, that I am not supposed to know partner has heart support and a stiff spade. We play 3NT after we established a fit in a Major as a cuebid for the other Major. That is the main reason ...
- More Memphis Mishappenings
- 1. I woke up because of the non existing 3♠ call (although I must admit I hesitated already when I put the 2♥ bid on the table, no idea why) 2. We have an agreement that almost all of these kind of jumps are splinters. Not specific over ...
- More Memphis Mishappenings
- WHAT REALLY HAPPENED Love the discussion, here is the explanation. With this partner I changed the system to 2clubs and 2d both being artificial and strong. 2cl singlesuited or some balanced hands, 2d 2 suited or some balanced hands. Before this we always played a standard American 2cl opening WITH ...
- What accomplishment earned this letter
- In the Netherlands we have 2 systems, the firstis just your Total nummer of masterpoints, in other words, how old are you, and the second is your accomplishments over the last 4 years. It counts your best 5 results of the year and halve of your next 5 results. Last ...
