Uday I think you are going wrong trying to pursue bidding sequenses. I think you will be right pursuing misconduct and making harm to others. This case mentioned by Ben has harmed nobody. - It looks to me just as a poor case similar to see the reason for intentionally disconnections by looking into scoring. - As Gerardo reported the Yellow ones dont use scoring as an evidence for intension so also bidding, even strange bidding, ought to be a private matter for the pair. They have an obligation to explain - but thats another story. This case here harms nothing and nobody. how can u say that? offcourse it harms someone, everybody how played in that tourney foresure, they got a score they never should have. and it harms everyone who plays on boo, i know many players who dont play tourneys anymore couse of this,instead they only play teams whit players they know. So to say that cheeting dont harm Bridge is just silly. kenneth

how could it be a missklikk? first 4 nt then 7 ♠ only one thing i could thing of if its not cheeting that east are very mad at hes partner for some reason and wont to punnish him/her by bidding crazy and that he was extreamly lucky,13 trick and not -800 as he tryed to create.

Hi all:) Have to say i agree a bit whit ben one this one, just becose a player don choose the 60% line it dosent mean hes cheeting, I just think of myself in this case and i do a lot of "strange"things on the table that gives me good scores. i never play bye % only on what my gut tell me too, this is becouse i dont know how to fin out what the % on every move is. but i have a good "nose" and make a lot of correct calls on just " table feeling" but this also give me a lot of bad scores so my score are very variable its often 0% and 100% this is somthing i try to work on now,im a little unstabil,but i dont have the rutine yet,only played 3 years,so i hope to start playing by the 60% line all the time,but inntill i know how i whould hate to be acuset of cheeting couse i play by 30% lines and not the availeble 70% But i think its great that its a lot of talk about it laitly,i think and hope this make the cheethers think twise before cheething.i really dont see the point in cheeting anyway , you dont improve ur play by looking at answers, the only one that loose are you:)))) kenneth

heya Ben Normally i dont answer bidding problems couse i dont play same system as most of you,i play a for of sayc:) but its we use the same gadgets like splinter Q-bids ect,so ill answer what i whould do on this one:O)) 1. no i think 4♦ is very discribing on this hand, a great bid 2. no i whould bid 5♥ (ask p to raise whit good ♥) 3.i whould bid 5 ♥ too,and yes 5♦show void now So its in my oppinion south is to blame kenneth

What Trpltrbl doesn't seem to appreciate is that relay methods are a "means" rather than an "end" in and of themself. I play MOSCITO a lot. However, I have found that I relay with relatively few hands. "Artificial" systems like MOSCITO are much more honest in that all the "strangeness" is localized. In the case of MOSCITO, the system requires a strong club opening, trnasfer openings, and uses relays with certain strong hand types. However, the vast majority of the system is designed for a simple, natural, bashing bidding style. Furthermore, while I agree with Trpltrb's basic point that a bidding system should be designed to permit considerable flexibility regarding where to play, I think that it is ludicrous to claim that a 2/1 style evaluates well using this type of metric. Just for fun, lets compare a standard 2/1 style with MOSCITO. The 2/1 bidder has just opened 1S, showing 5+ Spades The MOSCITO player has just opened 1H, showing 4+ Spades [Please recall, Trbltrp is the one who established the evaluation criteria] 1NT Response Playing 2/1, 1N is forcing Playing MOSCITO, 1N is natural and non-forcing Advantage: MOSCITO 2C Response Playing 2/1, 2C game forcing Playing MOSCITO, 2C is natural and non-forcing Advantage: MOSCITO 2D Response Playing 2/1, 2D is game forcing Playing MOSCITO, 2D is natural and non-forcing Advantage: MOSCITO 2H Response Playing 2/1, 2H is game forcing Playing MOSCITO, 2H is natural and non-forcing Advantage MOSCITO Bids from 2S up are going to evaluate as neutral Both systems treat them approximately the same. In short, your nice natural 2/1 structure doesn't evaluate too well using your own selection criteria hmmm blis tell me what is forsing using moscito? so fare nothing on 1-2 level

why not win the ♥K, play the ♥Q, overtaking, play a small ♥ tossing dummy's ♣Q? you lose a ♥, a ♦, and a ♠ it looks like that might make 10 tricks this line wont work,east whil win the hart whit jack and give p a ♦ruff,and a new club now make sure def get a ♠trick too

who has ace of club?

hmm think the hand is pretty mutch told, 4-2-4-3 obviusly, and 12-14 pts

ohhhh sry dint know this thx ben

sometimes misquoeted? only see 1 time and that was in luis post. and i think u know that he can the score for most contract and im sure its a typeerror.

sry i meant ♣club too offcourse

hi:)after 5♣lead i guess i whould play a small♥back, think my p whould play a bigger ♣if he were void in ♠ but im guess the correct return is♠ now?:) kenneth

HI ALL:) is that possible luis? can u give e/w-200 for poor play in 3 ♥? i think the should ceep there lusy score too but what do the laws say in this case? kenneth

HIYA:) THEES HANDS WERE PLAYED IN A TEST UR SKILL TOURNEY,(SELECTED DEALS) SO SPADES 4-0 IS LIKELY

Agrre i whould pass too.

hiya folks:) I was wondering if i could get some thougt from you posters abaut system, what system u recomend and why? im 26 years old and ive played bridge 3 years this sommer, i only play norwegian standard now, (pretty mutch like full sayc,whit multi and some other simple gadgets) but im thinking of learing 2/1 but ist this really a better system? im a fast learner and have a good bridge understanding but im not to found of reading system teory (i find this boring) so i want to learn a system thats not to far from what in know now. guess presison require a lot of reading.so il wait whit that till i get (the ants out of my pans) and find it intressting to read new systems. thx for your comments. kenneth
