Hi, could you please advise what is the most recent IOS that supports BBO software. I have concerned re updating my ipad operating system.

Is bbo fully functional in the Microsoft Surface RT tablets? I am deciding on a purchase, and this makes a difference to me.

I would like to see Women's events eliminated. Personally, I think it is insulting that these events still exist. I have watched the Chinese women's team on a number of occasions and think they could take on many of the world class open teams. I have read that some of the well known women in the U.S. like these women's events because it helps them get and retain clients, as professionals. It is definitely true that it is easier to achieve recognition when you arent playing the best of the best. I am encouraged to see more and more women, slowly, edging their way into open events and being successful. Very proud that the Canadian team, (with a female member) made the top 8 in BB 2013. Go Canada**

Thank you for that. I had a feeling that we should just reopen with a double freely even with the wrong shape when partner passes with a stack in the preempt suit, but partner needs to know we might be in scramble I guess.

I would be interested to know how to handle 3 level preempts by opps in 2nd seat (who usually have 6 bad cards in their suit). Does opener just aggressively reopen with a X without perfect shape (after partner passes) then scramble? We run into this problem of partner wanting to X for penalty but cannot due to system agreements.

Sorry, both sides were vulnerable. Partner had S A 10 x x H A K 9 7 D x x C x x x

Playing with regular partner, using Precision. 1D 11-15 might be 2. How shld opener interpret double by partner in this auction? 1D - X - XX - P P - 1H - X - P This is matchpoint scoring. I was 1D opener with the following hand: S Q J x H 8 x D A J 10 x C K Q x x Thx in advance for input.

Hello...requesting input on what advancer should do in following auction.... 1S - 2D - 3S - 4C 4S - X - P - ? My partner and I were sitting in direct and advancer seat. Our hands were as follows. Opponents 3S bid was alerted as preemptive. Partner S J 9 H Q J 10 x D A Q 10 x x x C A My hand : S K H K D xx C Q J 10 9 8 7 6 x x Would appreciate any input and explanation....thx

Thanx all for your input. At the table I passed, thinking 3C or 2H would be misleading, and wishing I had a two-suited bid. Of course, then LHO bids 5D and we are out of the auction. Partner had the following and very ;) that we miss 5H game: S J x x x x x H A x x x x D A C x

Hello, My regular partner and I play Precision and use standard overcall agreements. To show 2 suited hands we use Top and Bottom and Unusual NT. Over Weak 2 openers our 2NT bid in direct seat shows 15-18 and a stop in opener suit. The following situation presented us with a big disagreement. Would like any expert input as far as what to do per our above agreement (in this situation), and any advice for how to handle such in future. Both sides vulnerable Opps open 2D.....(standard weak 2 bid) I hold the following: S x H K 10 9 xx D Q C KQxxxx How to handle? Thx...Zoe171
