Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Accusation of Plagiarism against Mark Horton
- Also, the first example above, "Grand Slam, by Mark Horton," contains an especially clumsy example of plagiarism. "The Stanislavsky method is notable because it is designed to minimize the conflicts between married couples during the game, and as such there are a quite a few humorous scenes in which bitter ...
- Induce a Blockage
- Two beer cards!
- 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)

- 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.
