- about me
I'm from the Washington, DC area.
In the past few years I've started going to most NABCs. I've reached the stage where I'm disappointed not to qualify for the second day (I often get to the second day) and pleasantly surprised to make the overalls.
I'm the vice president of my unit and a frequent bridge volunteer.
I'm an attorney. My other hobbies are dancing, hiking, and knitting.

Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- What to do
- In OP's auction, the weak hand could have been asking because opener jumped to game and responder had no aces to cue bid. In a 2N auction, it's normal for the weak hand to be captain.
- What to do
- "Bid again with 3" seems like an unworkable agreement when applied to a hand that's already shown substantial strength (as in this case, when answerer has opened and then jumped to game opposite a potentially minimum response, or when the answerer has opened 2N or 2C). Why can't ...
- Advise the Tournament Chair: When a BAM movement gets whammed ...
- Having inadvertently run one session of imp pairs (and imp teams if you cross-imp the event), you could have run the second session the same way and determined the top 4 teams to advance based on cross-imps for the two sessions. That at least eliminates the difficulty of comparing apples ...
- 1NT-P-3NT-X
- If you've agreed that double asks for the lead of a particular suit, there still isn't much of a negative inference from failure to double. Even if partner wants that suit led, partner isn't going to double unless partner thinks there's a good chance (how good ...
- Full Disclosure
- I don't think "we don't have a weak 2♦ available" is a complete disclosure. Whatever trick-taking and suit quality agreements you have for a 3♦ bid in that seat should also be included. But if you don't have a weak 2♦ bid available, that ...
- Full Disclosure
- At any level of game, if opps ask me about partner's 3D opener and we're playing a 2D opener as something other than natural and weak, I'll include in my explanation that we don't have a weak 2D available.
- What Would You Do - What SHOULD You Do?
- If you're not sure what the rule is, how can it be against the rules to tell the director what happened and ask what the rule is? That's why they're there.
- What does this 4Heart bid mean ?
- Whatever it is, it's forcing. And without discussion, I assume it's natural.
- Wrong view on multi 2d by ACBL
- It's in the midchart and can be played in sufficiently high brackets of KOs and A/X swiss. But it can only be played in events with board segments of at least 6 boards, so it can't be played in A/X pair events (which typically have board ...
- Joshua Donn's bidding problem: KQx Ax KJx AT742
- Seems reasonable to me, with a source of tricks at imps.
