Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- To Show or Not To Show?
- 'On a "short Friday," we see only TOP, BOTTOM, ABOVE AVG., BELOW AVG., or AVG.' Which remote scoring product shows this behavior?
- Whining about a club director (again)
- Looks like responder bid according to the announced method: 6-10 or so with 4 card support. It also appears that responder took the request for an explanation as a sign that a so-so holding merited more action after opener's clear preference to keep it low, which preference I for ...
- Michael Seamon (1960-2017)
- So sorry to hear of Michael's passing. Such a delightful man and a great bridge player with a wonderful presence at the table.

- Singleton top honor. Already a pair at one of the local clubs wants to extend Stayman to show a singleton top honor. One of our top directors checked with ACBL staff, who found no issues with a 2NT response to show a stiff club and a 3C response to show ...
- Precision - 2 Club response to strong 1 Club opener - not alertable
- Reminds me of a National where we experienced a similar situation. We told the opponents we play Precision prior to play so that they might prepare. One opponent was a professional and the other his client. We alerted our bids as required. Yet the professional on receipt of a poor ...
