  1. Sorry to disagree - I use X as NOT penalty - some good hand (not w 4C) With a penalty ...I Pass and await partner to re-open w X (w a "normal" hand).
  2. Juniors BBO holds a tourney every Tuesday (2PM EDT). Many mentors will play with juniors - to be assigned at Vdoubleu's table 40 minutes prior to start time. Teaching Table on Wednesday's 11AM EDT (also at vdoubleu's table) - with special guest experts each week. "JuniorsBBO" will be on 30-40 minutes before to take reservations to play. A site has been created for your use at: http://www.freewebs.com/juniorsbbo/index.htm Please use this forum for ANY communications and/or suggestions about juniors.
  3. This is a wonderful place to learn - we have very dedicated experts ready to help the juniors. Me included. Don't let this opportunity slip away.
  4. South hand makes game if partner has 3 small Spades ..and nothing! South was more than timid.
  5. Need a negative vote? I would NOT overcall! 3 cards in S and empty suit..not me.
  6. When choosing a style of 1 level overcalls - keep in mind the negative inference (not overcalling). If you overcall with KQJx and out (my style) - when you fail to bid ..it means something too! These overcalls are used for competing and lead direction. If partner "knows" that you had enough value to bid...but didn't..that has meaning! So when choosing a lead - is not looking for a hidden miracle.
  7. Firing squads were invented for partners that Pass this bid.
  8. a few "nice" pills would be needed :)
  9. When super accept w 4 trumps ..I like to show my doubleton - helps partner judge game/slam bidding better. So 1N 2♦ -- 2♠ and 3♣ = doubleton here -- resp then rexfer with doubleton in the xfer suit - jump to 3M.
  10. For me - Inv Minor is NOT GF (yet) ..might be 10-11 with 5 card support. So - I use the 1st avail bid to show a weak NT hand usually with 3 cards in the minor (maybe 4 bad). Therefore 2N is for good hands.
  11. Been there ....done that :o
  12. In MY system? Pass XX = 9-11 and Pass then X or bid = GF ... simple bids = less than 9
  13. forcing or not ...bid 1NT...then win the postem! What else matters?
  14. Amazing - how playing with screens help!! Partner can't see your face. You can say almost anything (nice) while reaching for a weapon :P ..just kidding
