full board if anyones interested: https://app.pianola.net/Results/Session162546/Travellers/11 [hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=2d2h3d4hpp5ddppp]133|100[/hv] no comment on the opp bidding - I was south and thought the 2H bid was very bad, but it's easy in the heat of the moment when it's led to a bad result, some of the comments on here have been very interesting and food for thought. Maybe I shouldn't x idk Thanks, Eagles

wow never seen this suggestion before :rolleyes:

love all MP 2d = weak [hv=pc=n&n=sq3hj98654da83ck2&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=2d2h]133|200[/hv] Thanks, Eagles

The NoFear website/quiz is fairly bizzare - I did one with a beginner a couple of weeks ago and got 15/20 lol, some of their ideas are pretty LOL. I'm sure it's a good tool for people that are totally new to the game, but beyond that its pretty hopeless.

low diamond

Assume Photo is LHO, I'd lead a small heart

J heart

Q diamond

East is closer to 4H than 2H

it seems almost unplayable to have this method without being able to ask for partners 2nd suit after inteference. I am concerned that we could have a game if not slam on with 3d untouchable or -1, but its difficult to know how to move forward without being able to find out vital information about partners hand.

how good a player is south?

yes it could go wrong of course but vul at teams you just have to bid game here

no doubt Red Spawn will tell us that you can't possibly preempt on such a suit, but imo anything other than 5c is over thinking it

bro I respect you a lot but these aren't even remotely comparable

1 3H 2 3H 3 P 4 5H

we lost by 50 - some interesting boards :)

pass - my plan is to see how the auction progresses. preempting in hearts seems like a wild gamble first in, 3rd in i could understand, but we could end up playing some number of hearts going down when we're cold for 7 clubs

come on dude, 4♣ is ALWAYS gerber, you really should know that by now :rolleyes:

I have to agree with Steve, sorry Timo but this seems pure human error unless I'm missing something Gib opened 1H (correct) rebid 3c (correct) supported your diamonds (correct) I really don't see the issue!

this is the sort of thing GIB will do, leap to slam when it has a ton of forcing bids it could make at a much lower level, leaving you with a wild guess as to whether a grand can make. of course it's easy enough to come up with a hand that grand is just cold but it's just as easy to come up with hands where you don't want to be there. So I pass and if we have 18 tricks off the top I have a conversation with partner about taking things a bit slower!!

please just ***** off troll

I tried - I really wouldn't bother

the fact you're the only one that voted for it should probably give u an indication that it's not "definitely the bid" It's great to have new people join the forum but please realise there are some very good players on here (not me) and if literally no one is agreeing with your 2N bid there is a good reason for it. eagles

i don't see a disadvantage to trying to ruff a 2nd heart in dummy - they may have to overruff with jxxx for example

pass we could be caning this
