Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Your opinion on partner's opening bid Gatlinburg KO.
- It's not the opening I question, it's the pass.
- Bob Okker's bidding problem: AKJ972 Q32 AT8 8
- I saw this hand when it was played and thought it worth 3♠. Am I nuts? At the very least this must be close, yes? Richard's "slow 2♠" at least acknowledges that it is better than complete garbage. Maybe my internal hand evaluator needs recalibration?
- Meaning of pass after (1M)-dbl-(redbl)
- The BWS definition is: Passes over redoubles: A pass over a redouble is: (b) for takeout when a suit one-bid is doubled in direct position or a new-suit response is doubled. So, as others have stated above, it's a "you choose" pass.
- Jump after a jump shift playing 2/1
- 3♠ (for me) does not even promise much in ♠. I would rebid 3♠ with ♠xx ♥xx ♦KQJx ♣xxxxx
- Mastery of the Fundamentals
- Agree completely. I read a lot (though not as much as I would like). It is my preferred way to learn. There used to be a pretty fair contributor on BBF (there were many, of course) who went by the name MikeH. I used to read the forums every single ...
- Levin-Weinstein REACH Analysis
- Board 1 comments were especially concise. I understood every word.
- Fewest HCP for game bid and made?
- Do not recall my game record, but do recall making a doubled 7♦ grand on 15 --- intended as a sacrifice. Shockingly, no one else found it, with most pairs in 6♥ the other way.
- How would your auction go?
- Bobby Wolff recently mentioned this treatment on his blog. I had not seen it before. I like it and think it a better use for the jump to 3M.
- Systems on?
- :) Took me a moment to comprehend this. Just rename your system "Insufficient Bids."
- Systems on?
- If partner had responded 2♥ it would be natural and to play. Therefore, 2♦ has the same meaning, it is to play. (I hope).
