edit - mis-read the vul

yeah I'm sure an international standard player would forget to pull trumps on this kind of hand :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

already played - should have put in original list

So my regular real life partner is a pretty good card player but his bidding is limited, and we don't play too many conventions. To give a rundown of what we play at the moment 2/1 game forcing 15-17 no trump short club reverse benji (i know i know - i've tried arguing it) stayman weak 2's in the majors michaels/unusual no trump jacoby 2nt splinters/cue bids transfers over a no trump (3 way) 1430 keycard inverted minors carding = standard everything anyway my partner now wants to expand our range which i'm delighted with, but my question is what is the biggest priority - knowing my partner we should definitely add one thing at a time rather than all at once! Thanks Eagles

Disclaimer 1 - this happened in the BBF indy Disclaimer 2 - I only ask out of interest, it's just a knock about tourny, I'm not fussed about the result the first round passes are an error, west dealt and North opened 1s [hv=pc=n&s=s4h543d982cakqj84&w=st986h76da765ct97&n=sakj72hkjt2dkq3c3&e=sq53haq98djt4c652&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=ppp1sp2cp3np6cppp]399|300[/hv] It went Ace of diamonds small BIT 4 trick 2 heart switch this is a pickup partnership - as I say I don't care and I know my bidding is insane but I wonder if there's any UI with the tank on the Ace of diamonds lead? Neither player made a note of their carding on their bbo profile Thanks Eagles

great idea would very much like to see this happen.

well I've just seen the hands and just want to say CONGRATS to PhilG on this outstanding result of a draw on 12 boards of BAM. This should put all the doubters to rest. :lol:

How do you find the boards? tough to give a reaction without knowing what happened other than the result.

[hv=pc=n&w=s753hqjt6d76caq94&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1spp2dp]133|200[/hv] vul at imps 1s is acol good partner thanks

dear oh dear partner can have very boring hands where 6 or even 7 of a minor are just laydown :rolleyes:

PhilG I mean this with the greatest respect but either you are a (not very good) troll or you wildly exaggerate your own ability at bridge Literally no advanced player in world bridge would agree with 90% + of your posts, in fact I think a player of just a few weeks experience would be scratching their head with some of the stuff you come out with!

obviously a lot of stronger players than me vote for 3s but I would just never expect this hand if P opened 3s. Maybe I'm just too much a juniour

easy 4 spades, if for some reason I couldn't open 4 spades then I'd open 1 spade, 3 just seems really bad to me.

I sort of feel like its the kind of hand where both could act but no-one has done anything outrageously wrong. On a different layout we could be discussing a hand when acting had gone badly wrong.

meh preempts work

totally depends, does partner just double, or does he double in a voice of thunder?

well I'm really glad I wasn't West.. oh :P I just assumed if I bid 1S i was showing unbal here, learn something new every day :)

what on earth are you talking about?

lol yeah that is pretty hopeless

Matchpoints [hv=pc=n&s=sk6ha94dak743c752&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=p]133|200[/hv] 2/1 15-17 NT is it close thanks Eagles

Opps are bunnies so your guess on the first question is as good as mine. And 1c is only 2 when specifically 4432

personally I consider this a very informative topic regarding 5 card minor overcalls http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/topic/71735-extra-values/

[hv=pc=n&e=shq975dq98cqt9832&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=pp1cd]133|200[/hv] 1c = 2+ in a very basic 2/1 structure Matchpoints What to bid Thanks Eagles
