- about me
I'm a recovering astrophysicist originally from Boring, MD (yes, really) who now works doing programming and math. My wonderful wife and I now live in Columbia, MD with our son Trevor, who was born in September 2017. He's adorable and wonderful but so far he's terrible at bridge! In addition to bridge I enjoy entirely too many things given I'm a parent: running, sports, poker, barbu, board games, puzzles of various kinds, piano, cooking and eating (who enjoys cooking but doesn't love eating?!).

Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- James Huntington's bidding problem: AK3 KQ65 KJ32 85
- Isn’t partner’s range shifted up since mine is shifted down for the balancing x? Seems like partner could just have 9-10 HCP and 4s and we just have 3N on power.
- Nikos Delimpaltadakis's bidding problem: A52 AKQ7 6 AKT86
- I would have overcalled 3N.
- Gabriel Fractman's bidding problem: AJT98x xx x Axxx
- Sure but even if 6♥ is 50/50 then you should bid it since they might save.
- Sean McNally's bidding problem: T854 T5 3 KJT982
- Yeah if you aren't going to double on this...
- Phil Clayton's bidding problem: 763 T87542 A K73
- Also might get less for even 7♠x than for 6h so I want to look like I might be gambling.
- Craig Biddle's bidding problem: KT5 KQ7532 K AK3
- I wish my nightmares were this benign...
- Srdjan Katusic's bidding problem: J98 KQJT74 AQ A2
- I mean that would be great but isn’t partner going to take it as choice of majors?
- Martin Lindfors's bidding problem: Q542 AQ84 JT3 AJ
- I think the bigger danger is 5-5. x Kxxxx Ax KQxxx or x Kxxxx AKQxx xx are both min HCP but both are almost cold slams. I changed my mind to 2NT but I do think it's close at unfav where LHO will often be under pressure to do ...
- Johan Karlsson's bidding problem: J A874 Q92 AKQ64
- I would reverse if not playing reverse flannery and if 2♥ was forcing. I’m willing to reverse to avoid missing a heart fit but I don’t really think the hand is worth it.
- Phil Clayton's bidding problem: AKQT32 J4 AT3 J3
- I would just Texas and keycard. I think slam is a favorite here even opposite the range of hands that would pass opposite a mild slam try, which i think partner needs a really good hand to accept. Even if slam is bad they probably have to find the lead.
