Click on your own name at the table you are playing at.. it will move you from the seat to the kibitizer box (after asking if you are sure)/ If you leave to the kib place you arent count for leaving in the middle ?

I dont understand why dummy leaving count here. Its usually better when a player leave while he is dummy, it save the time of waiting for new player, which many time leads to ppl leaving the table out of inpatienty, i consider it rude to stay to watch till the last card and only then leave knowing it will make 3 other players waste time after i leave.

not sure i undersood the question , but if i did then you can press "up" from outside the bidding explanation, or even better press "ok&up" from inside it.

Why shouldn't this be a problem? It is a problem already. If the rules were "anything goes" then the problem would be unmanagably serious and would ruin the game for a lot of the people who currently enjoy it. Fred Gitelman Bridge Base Inc. www.bridgebase.com Don't you think this could open up a new part of the game, working out systems would work against other systems without a big change. I believe this is possible and believe a quelity og a system could be determind not only by how many times we reach the right contract, and how many we prevent our opponents from reaching their, but also by how generalized it is, and how it works against different sytems.

I love special systems, i like to play them and like to watch them, i believe its a huge problem if good systems are blocked but i totally agree with fred that the contest must not be decided by who's coatches did better job at prepering defences structures. I think more work should be done with defence generalization, I guess it wont be done because new systems are blocked and therefore not need defence so we have a egg and chiken situation...

I think partner bidding is just keeping the bid allive showing something in diamond (stoper or better, with no stoper in club, i need to continue showing my hand. I would bid 3NT. If i had more slam ambitions like 4 diamonds, i would have bid 3H.

just few more questions, does support promiss 4 cards or only 3+ ? same question over 1S-2H. Also the 2nt buther me, like most i open 1nt on 5332 15-17, so whats the point in playing 2nt as balance non minimum ? does it show 18-19 ? and if its non minimum how can i have non minimum with no other call after 2c (make more sense over 2d and 2h) Anyway i think this 2nt isnt that well used, and maybe the simplest way playing it balance 12-14 or 18-19 is better. I also think maybe 2nt could be use to show support, maybe 2nt show 3 card support and 3X= 4 card support both showing extra. chamaco's alternative is interesting too.

What is your system in 2/1 action ? what is 1S-2C-2NT ? does 1S-2C-2S ? promiss 6 cards ? is 1S-2C-2D ? limited ? 1S-2C-3D ? splinter ? 1S-2C-3C show extra ? does it change over 1H opening ?

ok i finnaly found a reference, in ambra , so i have all my answers. thxs everyone, i htink this system is good, and it make sense so no need to remember anything.

I would super accept even if partner is transfering to his own suit, yes he want to sign off but i have 19 with support, he responded so he doesnt have 0 hcp, we beling in game and if i just accept i would play partscore. Another question that i have, can responder show 2 suits and weak to make opener choose ? i mean 1c-1s-2nt-3d-3h is pass an option ? . If it is then its mean opener musnt bid 3h with better spades

thx

can someone give bit more details about this. what do i do with club support ? 3S show it maybe ?

escapes tricks are good, they might o rescue you but why do you put urself volontarily into a place where you need to be rescue ? This all idea came because you had 18-19 bal, but most of the time u wont have 18-19 u will have 12-14 and will just help ur opps.

Not sure why you are doing this? Why not just play simple and have: 3c=game force only checkback 3d=slam Invite somewhere checkback If you want complicated see my previous Baron discussion over a jump rebid of 2nt. I think its better. you can sign up whenre u want, or you can show ur distribution. I didnt think about it enough or read it anywhere just heard of transfers over 2nt rebid so thats why i ask to see if i interupt it right. If i do understand how its workds then its actually very simple.

I heard of this somewhere and think its good, but want to see if i understand how this should work. First is it only after 1m opening or also over 1h-1s-2nt? When transfering i should always transfer to the lowest extra cards i have like with 5H 4S i bid 1d-1h-2nt-3d-3h-3s to show my 5-4 right ? while with 4-4 i would tranfer to the spades imidietly. or with 5M and support i tranfer to the support and then bid my major again like in 1d-1h-2nt-3c-3d-3h. What are openers options except accepting the transfer ?

Happy B-day have lots of fun.

Yes there is a way. http://www.bridgeguys.com/LittleKnown/Byza...eBlackwood.html I used to play it, but cant say its good, it was too complex for us.

Thanks I will take your advice, i will leave the complex stuff for later.

I need your advice regarding this issue, i am writing a system for a long mp tournament with a new partner, i was planing to use gazzili and new minor forcing by opener (1d-1s-2c is forcing). This will be not easy for me and especisally my partner to get used to but we might have done the effort, but now i was thinking are those even good for MP ? if not i obviously dont want them. They are design to support the high part of the opening bid, without them u have to lie with very strong hand like bidding 1D-1S-3C with a one suiter but too strong for 3D, but at mp im suppose to focus on partnersocres and not slams so maybe this is a waste of time ?

True but there are ways to make this 1NT non forcing or only semi forcing.

Hope you will find it, sounds very intresting.

If 2h is not avaliable i would choose 2S, i hear the opponents bidding, chances of game are low, so why should i strech up when 90% of the time we dont have a game ?

Ben even if you are right and 1S-1NT-2D in polish shows a 12-15 hcp, the range in 2/1 is bigger usually up to 17 hcp. (yes you can solve it with ur 2c gadget but that has its price too) also having limited opener helps in some other ways for example 1M-4M can be less defined. Beside on interference things the limited range effect is bigger (here polish is even a little better then precision). Anyway i take ur point on precision being better then polish, but you cant hide the different between the ranges of 2/1 and polish, somehow they will make a different and here i dont want to get into structures, so in ipotetical optimal structure, a 12-17 opening will be better then 12-22. But ok what next.

I intentially defined the precision 1 level opening as 10-15 so it will be a 6 points range just like the polish. I cant understand how you can compare polish to 2/1 here when one is limit and the other one is not. I think this is the most clear of all. 12-17 is better then 12-22.
