- Todd Holes's bidding problem: AJT AQJ96 K9 AQ5
- Opener's hand: ♠97 ♥42 ♦AQJ85 ♣KJ76
- Todd Holes's bidding problem: AQ8 862 QJT9 KQ5
- How do you differentiate between 1♠ and 2♠?
- Suit Agreement and Slam Move after 2NT Open
- Make it any flavor of Stayman you wish, Ed.
- Bob Okker's bidding problem: Q6 A9 AK863 A653
- Greg, I think Bob was confused because you chose 1NT (in the poll) as opener's rebid, which shows 12-14. 2♣, of course, has a far wider range than 12-14. More like an upper range of about 17 or so, even a bad 18, whatever your jump-shift threshold is.
- Is this "Reverse" Forcing?
- Chris, your threshold for "strange" needs to be recalibrated.
- Is this "Reverse" Forcing?
- There is always an "other."
- Is this "Reverse" Forcing?
- "My issue is that partner's pass over 2♦ has a much higher minimum than 1♣-(P)-P does." Craig, would you pass over 2♦ with Kieran's example? xxxx,xxx,xxxxx,x? That looks like the same minimum. I see nothing "much higher" about it.
- Post 22. Flag-Flying, Bluff bids, Surprise Bids, Psyches, Psyching, Freak Bids and general camouflage. Saturday 4th January 2020
- "Often the term “psyche” is shortened to “psych” - indeed the relevant article on Wikipedia seems to imply that this latter usage is the correct one." "Psych" is a shortened version of "psychic." "Psyche" has two syllables. It is a common misspelling for psych.
- Online NABC - Congrats to Phil Clayton
- Well done, Phil. Nice way to kick off the holiday season!
- Forcing or not?
- Undiscussed, forcing. (New suit, unpassed responder, blah-blah-blah.) But it can be played either way with discussion.
