Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- What do you lead from J982? (Modified)
- Apparently, any heart will make me $1,000. I choose any.
- Todd Holes's bidding problem: AKQ8 K92 3 KQJ73
- No, not forcing.
- Which is 4SF to game?

- 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 ...
