OK I bid 5♠, LHO doubled and led the A♦ Dummy is T832 K2 Q872 KJ5

Win heart, diamond to ten, win west's heart return, cash as, play 3 clubs tricks, East is in some trouble.

OK so I bid 3s which in retrospect might have been too weak, bidding goes 4♦, 4♠, 5♦ back to me. Now I'm in real quandry.

OK well I'd forgotten about the existence of this Michaels thing, so I doubled. Now LHO bids 3♥, and it's passed back to me. What now?

I doubled figuring if he bid ♥s I could come back with ♠s and he should be able to get the message?

OK been a while, was hoping to ease back in, second hand at table I get ♠ AQJ954 ♥ Q ♦ --- ♣ AT8763 red v white. RHO opens, 3♦, what do I do? More to come ......

link to 7?

I think e rivals you there: e^x = Sum((x^n)/n!) = 1 + x + x^2/2! + x^3/3! + ... so e = e^1 = 1 + 1 + 1/2! + 1/3! + 1/4! + ... = 1 + 1 + 1/2 + 1/6 + 1/24 + .... = 2.718281828 e is probably my favorite number. it's also (1 + 1/n) ^ n as n ------> infinity.

You should sign up for a class in Fourier Series, you would like it :( I like spectral analysis, which I believe is very very closely related.

pi is 4/1 - 4/3 + 4/5 - 4/7 + 4/9 - 4/11 ............. Pretty cool hu?

Well there is a lon sory about an Italian pair who were know to cheat by everyone, yet nobody ever had real proof of that, so nobody did anything, situation leading to what everyone knows. I'd guess it took so long because these guys were actually really good at bridge, and further didn't cheat like absolute morons. If they had set out to win every single tournament they played, they would have been nabbed pretty damn early imho.

This is a scandal that I've found very gripping. Who knows how long it has been going on? They only got caught due to a few strokes of luck. The biggest one of these was that the cheater was a complete imbecile. He played 'perfect' poker knowing their cards which was terrible poker otherwise. Kind of equivalent to playing AQx v JT98, with no information about opponents' hands by starting with the Ace from dummy, yet lo RHO has a stiff King wouldn't you know. Then failing to bid the grand slam which is stone cold barring 7-0 diamond split which just so happens to be the actual distribution. Repeat this over a hundred hands, without ever making a single mistake, and it's going to be pretty obvious what's happening. AP continue to stonewall: This is their latest line http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21381022/ That might well be the worst lie/excuse I've ever heard. It's amazing just how incompetent/crooked this company is. If they had just told the truth from the outset this wouldn't be such a big deal. Yet the cover up the truth with lies, then cover up those lies with more lies. This just means that when the truth comes out, which it will, it's going to be slow an tortuous and in pieces which means more bad exposure for AP. Many of these sites which generated 9 figures in revenue per year are just so badly run. Their support is non existent, they have the same software glitches for years on end......... should make y'all appreciative of just how amazing BBO is!

I think Sheri finally knows why you take all her money in BBO $ games :)

Final tomorrow, England bidding to become first team to ever retain the trophy. Gogogogogo

Can someone provide some cliff notes? This thread is very long and my time is very short! Thanks, D
