Phil, I struggle to see how this would work - given how often you suggest psyching exclusion surely it would have to be explained as "exclusion but often psyched" and then rather than stopping the club lead, you're virtually guaranteeing it? Eagles

[hv=pc=n&e=sakjt4haj94dact32&d=w&v=n&b=12&a=pp1sp4hp]133|200[/hv] 4H is splinter thanks Eagles

I just played a hand against GIB, it was in a 3 spade contract and trumps were drawn with declarer on lead the cards were ♦q3 ♣6 opposite ♦AKT the club was a loser and the J of diamonds had not been played GIB play: low to the ten :D

Yeah lol

would've thought that 3s shows spade stop and by implication asks for heart stop but I have to say I really dislike the methods Eagles

So I just had my first junior traning weekend which I really enjoyed, I thought this was a very good hand for N/B spots are approx [hv=pc=n&s=sakt7hk86dak64ck5&n=sj32hq5d75cqjt987&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=pp2np3nppp]266|200[/hv] lead is 4 of spades 2 of spades from dummy, 9 of spades from RHO form of scoring = imps plan the play

All red at imps it goes p p 1n (15/17) p J752 A3 Q98432 2 What is best here? Eagles

Partner Had KQ954 T QT8 KT74

Many thanks all, I think I learned a valuable lesson here to open 1d rather than 1c with this type of hand. As it happens I passed and it's cold (other table was in same contract but undoubled) thanks Eagles

[hv=pc=n&n=sj3hj63dkj97caqj9&d=n&v=b&b=13&a=1cp1s2hp3hdp]133|200[/hv] I literally had no idea what to do here Thanks, Eagles

It's generous of you to say so, but I can't agree with that assessment!

I think You'll find that in Britain we invented Benji Acol, so please cut out you're crude comments :angry:

TL:DR

[hv=d=n&v=0&b=1&a=2c2hp3h4h]133|100[/hv] what is 4h? thanks Eagles

probably too late but interested :)

that's putting it mildly :D

Not being able to be anonymous is barking mad but at the same time you can just use a fake name its not like they're gonna check your passport or something!

yes i defended bad but I was just rushing through, anyway nice pass GIB :) http://www.bridgebase.com/tools/handviewer.html?bbo=y&lin=pn|eagles123,~~M7380r54,~~M5945lyn,~~M977tczc|st||md|1S47KAH279D58QKAC6%2CS39H45JAD369JC3KA%2CS25JQH36TD7TC458T%2C|rh||ah|Board%203|sv|e|mb|1D|an|Minor%20suit%20opening%20--%203%2B%20!D%3B%2011-21%20HCP%3B%20|mb|p|mb|p|mb|d|an|3%2B%20!C%3B%203%2B%20!H%3B%203%2B%20!S%3B%209%2B%20HCP%20|mb|p|mb|2D|an|11-16%20total%20points%3B%20forcing%20|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|pc|C4|pc|C2|pc|C6|pc|CK|pc|H4|pc|H3|pc|HK|pc|H2|pc|CQ|pc|H7|pc|CA|pc|C5|pc|C3|pc|CT|pc|CJ|pc|D5|pc|SA|pc|S9|pc|S5|pc|S6|pc|SK|pc|S3|pc|S2|pc|ST|pc|S4|pc|D6|pc|SQ|pc|S8|pc|H5|pc|H6|pc|HQ|pc|H9|pc|C7|pc|D8|pc|D9|pc|C8|pc|D3|pc|DT|pc|D4|pc|DQ|pc|DK|pc|DJ|pc|D7|pc|D2|pc|DA|pc|HA|pc|HT|pc|H8|pc|S7|pc|HJ|pc|SJ|pc|C9|

I guess the preempt is on a very bad suit so is likely to have a bit of shape which might be another reason to finesse?

1N seems quite normal to be me, imo West should at least try for game red at imps but what do I know!

it's not pleasent but I don't really see what choice we have apart from 1 spade

My Guess 1 - 4s 2 - 4s 3 - 4s 4 - 4s 5 - x 6 - x 7 - 5d 8 - x 9 - 4s 10 - 4s 11 - x 12 - 4s 13 - 4s 14 - 4s 15 - 4s 16 - x 17 - 4s 18 - 4s 19 - p 20 - 4s 21 - p 22 - 4s 23 - x

fwiw a couple of months ago I would have passed in a flash now I wouldn't even consider it. I think a lot is to do with this topic: http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/topic/69159-yet-another-pre-empt-from-opps/
