Well, I have described my hand (which should be stronger) and partner has probably no ♥ fit and a lot of ♣ ! So, I would trust him and pass

Agree with Misho and Free ! Pass and J♠ with anyone Pass and 10♠ coded with my partner :)

I personnaly play weak NT NVul and strong NT Vul. It works very well :)

Not pull with nothing in ♥, KTx in ♦ and no ace !! That should be some kind of masochism !! LOL

Most probably TO with short ♦, so 3♥ ! :)

Naturally, if you did not discuss anything :) , this shows 8-10 and 5+ ♥

I agree with Misho. :rolleyes: I play a system where 2NT is GF and we only bid a side suit if it's AK, AQ or KQ fifth. Alain :D

Hi Misho ! You seem to guarantee 3 cards in ♠ but you can have only 2, can't you ? By the way, the problem is more interesting on ♠ overcall because of lack of space ! What on : 2NT p 3♣ 3♠ X ???? Alain

One simple sentence can summarize this topic : Should you have any doubt, pls alert !!! :)

Usually the cut begins after 2 rounds but I suppose that it's a parameter that can be chosen by the TD, yes or no ?

As Ben pointed out 4♣ can also be cue bid with ♥ fit but it's becoming very ambiguous and you don't have room anymore to show that fit ! By the way, Free, if 4♣ is not ♣ how do you show ♣ ?? I don't know where opener showed minimum 2 times ? (bids can go from 11 to 15/16 HCP I think !) :lol:

Well, I suppose that 3♥ on 2♦ should be non forcing (which is not the case in my partnership) ! That's the problem because after the 4th suit, you don't have any bid to show the ♥ fit and slam interest ! (3♠ = 6 spades, 4♣= clubs, 4♦=♦fit, 4♥ is stop and 4NT would not be RKCB because there isn't any fit !) So the only bid remaining to show slam interest is 5♥ ! (and I will accept because of AK and ♦ Ace) :lol:

:o I don't understand and I won't comment on that anymore ! Fortunately, there are a lot of more interesting subjects on the forum :rolleyes:

Hi all, I fully agree with Ron and Mike ! and quoting Free : how can you write things like that !! :o every country in the world has its cheaters and honest bridge players I think ! B) Alain

:huh: As a lot of people have a look at this topic, I suppose that it has some interest altough we do not have any response ! So, I relaunch it a little bit ! ;) I really think that it should be a real improvement for the BBO site. Alain :wub: :D

I totally agree with Ben ! :rolleyes: When you bid in a 1 card suit, you have to warn opponents although this gives them an advantage. By the way, what's the interest to defeat a contract in which opps are playing with trumps 2-1 because one thought it was transfer and the other not ??? ;) Let's try to play good bridge and not being focused on some silly results that do not bring any satisfaction at all ! Alain

Hi all, I agree with Luis, slam try but probably without ♣ control (I will cue bid ♣ with the control) Alain :rolleyes:

Hi Aisha, Please keep in mind that playing multi is only interesting if you have agreed on something for the 2M openings. Otherwise, playing simple weak 2's is more efficient in terms of preempt ! ;) Alain :rolleyes:

Hi all, Having a lot of tournament types is great and is clearly a advantage of online bridge. :P If there are types of tounaments you don't like, simply don't play them and go to the main bridge club !! By the way, it is impossible to eliminate the great luck factor in so small events like 10,12 or 14 boards tournaments !!! :rolleyes: ALAIN

np :blink: I only say that the less HCP you have, the less chance you have to hear "pass-pass-pass" !! :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: Do you really think that opps will let you play 1♠ and that the bidding is over ? And as Ben says 4M is far from laydown with xxx-Qxx-xxxx-xxx !

:rolleyes: Same for me

Yes ;-) :blink: This way, it will also be easy to suggest opps you like to play with to become your teammates !! Great idea also, Karl !!! :D Let's hope that Fred or Uday will hear us (it's a joke because I know they really take care of users suggestions !!) :rolleyes: Alain

You only have 16HCP so without special aggreement I will open this hand with 1♠.

Hi all, It would really be great to improve the organization of team matches on BBO. It is difficult to find 8 players (lot of chat ....) and it is off course easier to find 4. So, why not create a "team desk" where you can register a team of 4 players. This "team desk" will work just as the "partnership desk" in a pair tournament ! Alain :D
