Bridge Winners Profile for John Ferman

John Ferman

Sorry, this user has no cards yet.

Action over 1S?: I’’d like to see a calculation demonstrating that the odds are higher that you defend 2♠ and beat it than that you make 4 ♥ or 5 ♣. I don’t run sims but I bet some people here can. Also, overcalling seems more likely to keep them ...
How well do you understand restricted choice?: Maybe I am misreading this problem. Are we looking for 1 answer or 4 (i.e. are the conditions cumulative or separate)?
How well do you understand restricted choice?: How are Monday and Dylan irrelevant? They’re only irrelevant if we assume the names and days were not picked randomly for the problem. The irrelevant fact is “at least one is a boy” since that’s known already.
Can East and West bid better?: Deleted.
ATB: “6-4, bid more.”
ATB, or is bridge just too tough?: North might pull 3 NT x although 4♦ x won’t be a picnic either.
4NT: Up to agreement. Probably spades
4NT: Seems like an exclusion KC might be an option.
Devil's Coup?: *heart ruff*. Otherwise I second this.
What do you play at trick three? The rest of the story: See Above. What if king is led from ace-king playing ace normally. Won’t that elicit attitude?
