I bid the rather obvious (?) 1♦. GIB bids

You have 12 top tricks in this diagram. :blink:

GIB passed, which turned out to be correct opposite what I had. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was similar to ♠AKx ♥Axx ♦AQJxx ♣xx

[hv=pc=n&n=sqj75hqj65dtck542&d=e&v=n&b=2&a=p1dp1h2cdp]133|200[/hv] What is your bid here?

After that auction, I don't think they're leading an ace :blink:

...is definitely NOT this. http://tinyurl.com/p84uymw Particularly trick 3. Unfortunately, after this blunder, I did not find the squeeze in the pointy suits.

GIB bid 3♣ with this hand

http://tinyurl.com/q35fnwz GIB keeps correcting to spades despite there being a better fit in clubs. Also, I thought with a weak hand, GIB was supposed to go through 2NT after the reverse, or is that just one of the things on my wish list? :rolleyes:

You hold, in 4th seat, all vulnerable, ♠AQJT86 ♥Q73 ♦A7 ♣T6 And the auction goes (1♥) - 2NT - P - to you. What do you bid?

The only lead to beat it is a diamond because it removes an entry to ruff a club without giving up a trick.

I agreed with this, but then I looked through a random game I played back in August and there was only one par result in 24 hands. A lot of the variants were someone messing up the bidding (not finding game/slam) or finding the wrong lead.

clear 2♠ opening if you are with a partner that you play with semi-regularly, otherwise I probably would anyway.

I am extremely surprised to note that GIB

IMO, P = 10, 2♠ = 2, 1♠ = -15

Honestly I prefer mEShpLaYEr :ph34r: If you click 'forgot password' on the login screen, you can reset from there.

According to a few simulations I did, east passes.

Double is a wtp for me. Decent (admittedly balanced) 14 count with 3+ card support for all of the suits. Pass of the XX is ok because your diamonds are headed by the 7 1♠ is wtp unless you think you're going down 6 doubled and/or your partner has 2-5-3-3 The only call I disagree with is XX :o

Oh yeah, I forgot the ♥K was an entry for a squeeze <_<

win ♣A, king of hearts dropping the jack, ruff a heart dropping the queen, ♦KA, pitch a spade or club on a heart? King of clubs is obviously offsides so we can't establish a spade in time, and our spade loser is fast so we can't establish a club either. Looks like a club lead always kills it though.

4♠ Please tell me why this is wrong

2♠. Your values aren't good enough to invite outright and you should "correct" to the 5-2 fit. 2♥ isn't terrible but it's likely to get you into the wrong strain. Pass could work out too.

seems like partner has something like 3-4-4-2 or similar. I pass.
