- Not your typical lead problem
- In other words, I would NEVER lead a Diamond from a broken holding if partner doesn’t double.
- Not your typical lead problem
- Double would ask for a diamond lead. Simple rule, you doubled a cue-bid for the lead, not knowing at that moment it would be your lead. If partner now doubles it asks for the suit you doubled.
- Do you consider this pass forcing?
- We have a pretty simple rule. “pass is only forcing if we BOTH know that we have bid game on strength”. Vulnerability has nothing to do with it.
- Slow Play, a day behind the “ Flash”
- David, this is not completely true in the USA. The rule is that if you are late in a round you have to make up the time lost within 2 rounds. That means if you couldn’t do this you used, again, to much time.
- Slow Play, a day behind the “ Flash”
- It helps if a director stands behind people, but only behind those people who care being late. The habitual slow player doesn’t give a shit. Famous remark from one of them. “ I won’t play faster, they don’t give me a penalty anyway”.
- Slow Play, a day behind the “ Flash”
- David, you to, this is completely NUTS. Although I don’t mind playing with tablets, it’s NOT the solution. Playing by the rules is, and for directors to enforce them. Your proposal is to find a solution that helps the people who can’t play by the rules, ok ...
- Slow Play, a day behind the “ Flash”
- See above. To make sure, only for habitual slow play, not for someone who is a little late once every 3 sessions.
- Slow Play, a day behind the “ Flash”
- Where is the I like it a lot button???
- Slow Play, a day behind the “ Flash”
- Peter, that is insane. The rules are there to be enforced. If a director can’t do that he should be relieved of his function. He gets paid to enforce the rules. “ a well, let’s not give them a 1 trick penalty for a revoke, he might get more ...
- Rohit Gupta's bidding problem: 964 84 AQ765 K32
- use 1spade to deny 4spades and double as showing 4 or 5. 2ha to show 6 and 2 spades as the cue-bid. Not having agreed this with partner I would pass 1ha or bid 2D. Double is ridiculous.
