Hi - I was told that a bid of 2H or 2S in fourth seat is a strong bid, showing 5 or 6 of the major and at least 18 pts. Is that something anyone else has heard of? Is it an actual convention? Would appreciate any feedback.

Hi - My friend and I live in different cities and thought it would be fun to play together as a pair. We sign on to BBO choose Start a Table, choose IMP's and enter our names and then wait, and wait and wait. Finally someone or a pair shows up, plays a hand or two and then leaves, to be replaced by a robot. This continues ad infitum and is very,very frrustraing. Further, the opps who do show up seem to be people with about 10-50 signons - usually not very good players. We are by no means great players but it sure would be nice to be able to play 10-20 hands against another pair or at least against decent opps. Is there something I am missing in trynig to set up games in this manner? Thanks - rivlinj

Hi to all - I would like to find someone who does one on one teaching online. I understand that there may well be problems but I'm willing to take some risks that I can evaluate who might be doing the teaching. Anyone interested or can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks - Joe

Hi - I'm dedicated to BBO and I'd love to be able to travel, taking a tablet - almost any tablet - that has the proper software (Flash?) installed that will let me play on BBO as I do normally - online or downloaded version - either is fine. I've read lots of technical detail but really have not been able to cull out of all that a straight forward solution. Which tablet, if any, can I buy that will run BBO? Thanks rivlinj

Hi - I'm trying to decide whether to buy an IPad now or wait until it supports Adobe Flash so I can use to play Bridge on BBO. I see a discussion thread that says Skyfire is a downloadable IPad app that runs "most" Flash applications. Does anyone know if it will run BBO?
