sceptic

I am of the opinion that if you live some where that is not capable of supporting its population, taking food to them is not the answer, they then become dependant on handouts and they then will never learn to solve thier own problems

I thought even with the x I should still show my two suits I am still a bit unsure how 5!D says this is my suit, that is probably naievety as I have not really actually used this bid more than a few times

14 I would not take the bet, it does not state where he can find people, so 1 person out of 364 will earn him $1 and 363 people out of 364 will earn the other one $726 on average This wager sucks

Nice of you to apologise for being French, takes a brave man to do that, but it was not really necessary

12 seven and a half degrees

9 I think the queen says to all 100 women, how many men do you know have been unfaithful and all 100 say 99, therefore, they mass murder all the unfaithful men in the village

16 is cute weigh 3 on each side of the scale, if they remain level, then the heavy one is in your hands, just weigh the remaining two and you will find the heavier one that way if one set of 3 balls dips, then remove them and weigh two of the three balls, if they balance the heavy one is in your hand, if not it is the one that is lowest on the scales

I would have thought a good partner was the most important thing, followed by a desire to win and the ability to concentrate for long periods of time and a jolly good understanding of all aspects of the game I also think the ability to behave well, not use drink drugs and prostitutes like the juniors do (lucky bastards) and maintain the dignity of the game and not manage to frighten away newcomers to the game with thier holier than thou attitude

maybe it attracts people that can be bothered to go

I have to strongly disagree, my wife brought me an ornament she had wanted for years for my birthday, my brother now has it and my wife wont let me forget it :P

west has KJ10xx spades QJ hearts J diamonds Qxxxx clubs J!S lead?

please dont tell me I was playing with 3 idiots 1 was a star player with an expert regular p of his and my partner was an american silver life master I just dont understand this game some times please give me your comments on the bidding neither contract made were they so clever they were looking for swings or what the f%$" was going on hand 1 [hv=d=n&v=n&n=sj643hkjt3d5cqt65&w=sakqt987ha2da832c&e=s52h9875d4cakj732&s=shq64dkqjt976c984]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] West North East South - Pass Pass 3♦ 4♦ 5♦ 5♥ Pass 7♠ Pass Pass Pass hand 2 [hv=d=n&v=n&n=sj643hkjt3d5cqt65&w=sakqt987ha2da832c&e=s52h9875d4cakj732&s=shq64dkqjt976c984]399|300|Scoring: IMP[/hv] West North East South - - Pass 1♣ Dbl 3NT Dbl Pass Pass Pass This was in an ACBL tourney, I am posting this while dummy

that does not happen to me that often ;)

you prefer that I post ones where I bid well?

another thing that may not be apparent from my post, is I was trying to establish whether my 1NT gave my p the impression I was a lot stronger and his x of 4 spades was ok

I have never tired it but you can download it to an excel file, so I assume you may be able to upload it from one?

I actually thought 1 Diamond was my bid (south) I opted for 1NT as it takes space away from opps who could easily bring a major suit into play over 1 diamond and I considered my club holding a stopper with 5 hcp (I may have a major flaw in my thinking here) I also never expected pard to have clubs with his x and yes they made 4spades xx

And there is a very good reason for that, because if you are not advanced then 80% of people reject you out of hand

check out hannies last fe posts and you should come up with it

You must be one of those flat alearthers! your vote counts

I accept your apology Mike on behalf of everyone

I based my statment on that hand, I just thought it was showing bidding for the hand in question

Hi would some one care to explain the definition in simple terms for the different types of raises etc i.e. constructive raise limit raise etc Thank you
