- lebensohl over reverses
- IMO, [b][i]genuine Lebensohl[/i][/b] is a good conventional choice after a 2-level reverse, because it's simple, consistent, memorable, and it caters for misfits. For example ... Opener ♠ x x x ♥ - ♦ A K x x ♣ A K Q x x x Responder ♠ J ...

- Detaching cards as defender
- [quote=Mike Bell] ,,, thinking with a card out gives the same information as thinking without a card out - specifically, that you're not sure which card to play to this trick.[/quote] IMO, Andy Bowles's first comment detailed the legal position. The player's hesitation indicates he has a ...
