♥♥ ♥ My dear ♥ Before answering, two questions ? 1. What has North-America to do with this ? 2. are the Cayman Islands part of North-America ? ♥♥♥

♥ ♥ ♥ EXACTLY, my dear ♥, You can not expect that your partner expects that you expect that you have the same ideas about what is standard. That is why, we say, you must agree with your partner on this.... Believe us ! ♥ ♥ ♥

♥♥♥ We are really impressed. One of the best postings of the last few months ! That is the way we love it. 3 upvotes from me. ♥♥♥

♥ ♥ ♥ I keep on repeating myself, yes ♥! It is all you want, but you must agree with partner. You cannot trust that she thinks the same "should be" as you, without prior discussion. ♥ ♥ ♥

Good ! what is your agreement ?

♥ ♥ ♥ Dear ♥, are you sure it is forcing in SAYC ? I would say, just 6card and inviting....... It is also related to the agreements you use for 4SF. This the kind of sequence you need to agree with P. Lurp♥a. ♥ ♥ ♥

♥ ♥ ♥ Hello my Dear ♥, No, not if you play according the ACBL booklet. Don't forgot that partner is very often bidding 1NT, just to protect you. Really there is no need for Stayman or other systems. But again. that is the kind of sequence you need to discuss with partner ! ♥ ♥ ♥

♥ Hello Dear♥, "Probably" 2/1 is a superior system (listening to most of the experts). I expect that a few years from know everbody will play 2/1 (just like 10 years ago, everybody was playing strong 2s, now everybody plays weak 2s). The Problem with 2/1: what 2/1 is partner playing ? BWS started some kind of a Standardisation effort, but for one or other reason this project was abandonned. Too Sad. On BBO, the 2/1CCs, might give guidelines, but different CCs, conflicting between them, are available. What is needed ? A full blown 2/1 system, as BWS started to construct, but also a 2/1 standard for beginners, and why not an intermediate version (with options). This said: I prefer, with pick-up partners, to play ACBL SAYC, at least this is more or less froozen, althought the BBO CC and the ACBL Booklet are conflicting: I always give precedence to the CC, wwhen playing on BBO (I know that partner has at least access to that CC). And again, my Dear♥, please discuss system with your partner. ♥♥♥

♥♥ Yes ! Certainly something you best agree with your ♥Partner. ♥♥

♥ Yes, all good answers. Best thing is to agree with your partner. ♥

♥ I askes with ♥. isn't that friendly enough, for..... ♥

♥ Tell us why ? ♥

♥ Hello Dear♥, more than a question of system, it is a question of partnership. Please agree with partner on the limit of each possible bid, ♥

♥ For the (a): X= shows values (7+ in front of 15-17NT, 10+ in front of 12-14NT). All subsequent doubles are now for penalty. Having accepted that. (b) X= take-out. ♥

♥ That is the whole problem. To many systems around that call themselves 2/1. That is why I never play 2/1 with a pick-up partner. ♥ PS: don't forget the BWS Standard , which you will find on the Bridge World pages. ♥

♥ Can you explain how you get to those stats ? I cannot find them. Thank YOU ♥

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Why ? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

♥♥♥ WHY ? ♥♥♥

Tell us why ?

Not a very friendly attitude. You really want to exclude the rest of the world ? Dangerous !

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ OH ! We understand now. Our apologies to Justin. We did not understand his joke. I hope he understands - English is not our native language. Maybe he could take that into account when making postings like he does. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ We L♥ve you all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ PS: and an upvote for Flem: that was a constructive contribution, not one full of vitriol. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Yes, even better. Indeed, what Gordon told us (tx again) allows to read the diagrams, but the whole text around becomes to big. We are glad that we are not the only ones having that problem. By the way, we have this problem only for a couple of weeks, maybe 2 months. In my ♥ you get 3 upvotes !!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ We L♥ve you ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ Many thanks. I will try it immediately. I would have loved to give you a triple upvote....but they limited my account. :( . ♥♥♥♥♥ We L♥VE you all. ♥♥♥♥♥

♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥ Yes, our account is now limited. We have no more access to up and /our down-voting. We have no more access to profile. It could be that somebody hijacked my account... But more possible that this was done by the administration, as a result of of the actions by a small group (at the most 7 of you, not to take into account the Double or Mulltiple users). Most of you will know that small group of people, who, through their aggressiveness and vulgar language are monopolizing the opinion on this forum. We do think that you should not allow them to get away with this. So react with lot of ♥♥♥♥♥. ♥♥♥ ♥ WE L♥ve YOU ALL ♥ ♥♥♥

♥♥♥♥♥ Bidding Diagrams are too small to read in my browser. I am using IE9. What is wrong ? Or is it Java?
