this is what I play and I'd guess it's standard. I would still bid 2S with your partner's hand though

What's wrong with a 1H overcall? Why does 2S show hearts according to bridge logic? QJT9xxx x Kxx Ax can't bid spades? I imagine 2S is nfc by most NA pairs, and I would just pass and pray that partner has more than 5.

23 is a lot.

The worst were the animated ads, which would actually noticeably slow down my computer. I haven't seen those lately though, but I guess I always chip in a quarter when I pop on.

5 of my points are a stiff king and queen dub in their suit

I think it's just a 3 card limit raise that upgraded when you bid diamonds. I'd pass now, you need way too much for slam

Maybe the BBF indy!

That's not true. Then you have to farm for swag gear

gwnn (regular poster for a long time) and I (lurker/trashposter) make bridge videos, for what it's worth. Peter Hollands does too. I don't know if it'd be useful, but it's over the shoulder stuff. Here's gwnn: https://www.youtube.com/user/tgwnn Peter Hollands: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOaZnFbFH1OlbhVm25z4rLQ Mine is in the signature.

I actually really enjoyed Root's play and defense books. I didn't think they were dry like Watson's tome was. I read it cover to cover multiple times while I was commuting to work.

4C as modified keycard is pretty popular where I am

Where is this from? I remember hearing it years ago, but forget the source.

I respect whenever nige1 posts to play problems, and I respect about the first 15% of his bidding choices

The forums are great!

Perhaps you should read the second sentence of the opening post.

Don't want to derail, but will partner often bid 2N with a reject? I always just pass and play the 5-2 or whatever.

Huh, I really thought I had included that info. Sorry, it's 1st seat. Edited the post.

Oh sorry, I thought this was a strong NT and we had an unequivocal game force. It looks like you are just going to have to guess: force to game or pass.

Partner opens 3S 1st w/w, your turn Style is normal to aggressive A AJT Axxx KJxxx edited to include position

Double is either penalty or takeout, depending on partnership agreement. Regardless, you can play a cuebid as Stayman. Hopefully that isn't too complex :)

One hand a thread please :/

I haven't looked up the hand but I'm glad I wasn't only the one baffled by this decision point!

4D should be a big raise to 4S. Agree that 4C is natural, and it looks to me like 4N is quant.

lol just kidding, my music arrived yesterday and I spent 2 hours sitting at the piano
