- Using Twitch as a Platform for Bridge
- Hopefully, every week. I just need to start the first week :-) I am thinking to start with a Challenge against Argine and then playing Challenges against the audience or top players.
- Using Twitch as a Platform for Bridge
- Hey, I am working on bringing this idea into reality for some time already. I have started the same as Gonzalo - watching youtube videos about Hearthstone. I liked it and improved myself because of watching the top player. So I had a thought it has to work also for the ...
- Milan Macura's lead problem: J874 T6 AQJ9 J75
- 1♣ is either 12-14 or 18-20 HCP balanced or unbalanced with ♣. 2NT would probably show the 18-20 HCP balanced, but your opponents are shooters. And, you partner is 75 years old :-) The agreement is: 1x - pas - 1y - dbl = 14+ HCP 1x - pas - 1y - 1NT = other suits 8-13 HCP ...

- Partner asked for key cards and signed-off, why should I think to bid on? If he does not have enough, he could have cuebided in ♥ or ♠ and let me ask for key cards. I prefer to use 4♦ as BW5.5 in one way bidding.
- Jack Spear's bidding problem: AKQT5432 --- KQ432 ---
- I chose 5♥ as exclusion for ♣. But when I am thinking deeper about the hand ... I should bid 7♠. If partner does not have ♦A, I might go down as well from 5♠. Partner does not have ♥ values so should most likely have the crucial ...
- Jerry Murbach's bidding problem: T74 AKT6 K96 AJ8
- Partner is a passed hand, so 1NT showing 15-18 HCP seems to be a risky bid in VUL. Therefore I choose double
