Let you just a while. It is the second time (the first -i don't would mistake but if don't remember wrong there is in another topic also Nige1) that seems to me that squeeze that i indicated in my post is not known (why do you not apply/consider it?). For that one - the two losers delayed duck (that Inquiry in another topic named CLE ) - is used when ducking can take a damage (to communications) or it is impossibile to do. En passant : the acronim CLE is an help that Love use to remember squeeze ending composition. How are they genereted if we start from the 5 simple squeeze endings. It simply adding a loser in them (i now tell quickly without ultherior specify). Than criss -cross delayed duck became from a criss-cross (♠/♦) + a loser. Fourthemore, because you are yet discussing about diamond as lie, it being an automatic works against E or W and also : the squeeze trick can be in N or S and it is (here) comprehensives of Nige1 indication (about heart idle card). I hope in future to see it is again (and visualized too), bye.

In a recent my mail to Rain he wrote :" If there are hands you particularly wish to save, and you use the new BBO version (web client), at the bottom of each hand there is an "option" button that you can click on and choose to permanently save hands for future study. That is a nice tool that serious players seem to enjoy." Now i went in My Hands database (from browser) but the option for each hand is about :Pictures of cards,Hide cards played and Advanced trick by trick whilest in Recent Hands by B♠B app the button option doesn't talk of "saved all deals". Where i find it ? (Is it only in new Bbo version that perhaps i don't use ?). Thanks.(Lovera)

What are you talking seems to me like "a greek chorus" that "singing" represented what will be happened in futures scenarios (of rappresented tragedy). If a problem had to be we could consider all data that are in post #1 becoming from author of topic KurtGodel untill ...humans. Such as what means GIB (which seems to think 4♠ here shows 3 card support) ?

I would remember that when only an opp can stop a suit but we cannot say whom is (as is the case of heart) in this eventuality the indetermination of unilateral is treath like a double(=indeterminate position) menace being this squeeze called "simple as double" (Love term) or "alternative" (Romanet term) and is a squeeze with one loser. About ♠/♦ squeeze : if one loser (simple) acts at 10 trick but there is the delayed duck criss-cross that is a two loser squeeze acting a trick before.(Lovera)

So, following the subsquent discussion, seems that Michaels is started but actually is not defined or completed. I think that bidding of partner must realize two objectives : make a sort of "disturbing" against opp and help partner indicating force and/or support before that it' s too late. I think that 2♠ (or 2♥) had to indicate major shortness in suit bidded occupaying space + force in (here) diamond suit of partner (being implicit the fourth suit).

I too but probably will indicate points. The 5-4-2-2 is the half-balanced and is yet a better hand to play NT. The last is the 6-3-3-1 but must choise in last analisys can having problem about communications. About the hand 2 let's say that its value is around 10 points cause Q or K gain value is covered by partner (or the same for the last diamond actually without points of longness).

There is already a triple on last club. The ♦ 10 can make thinking chat J falls but 9 is in W.

This way to do is allow (as also barmar and helene_t had to say in Old Topics) until anyone has anything to adjuntive or to re-fine at. I forthemore see often Last click at the aim to go around for all BBO posts/topics that usually can not to be "youngs",bye.

Usually 6 points is a "minimum limit" for a safe bidding and to estabilish when with a fewer pointing to pass. But here we have 4 points in high cards + a doubleton that is + 1 p. (Goren valutation for shortness) and more 9 and 10 also. Than partner must bid when has 6 points but having a good raising in the suit of partner can bid also with 5 points that in our case realize a delayed raising that indicates (5)6-8 points at second round reserving to a direct raise(=1♥-2♥) the meaning of 9-11 points.

It is happened today in MSN club: i seat for the second time at table and see ♠ 92 ♥ AKJ10x ♦ - ♣ QJxxxx (!)(=strange but had i not told that this one is a rare hand ?) Naturally i open with 1 ♣ but bidding don't proceed. Why ? I was courious to see Bots what had bidded to experiment an eventually overbidding of the suit of opp.(En passant : the first time in the same club, open table :seat, when at this other table i see that i had already bidding (when it is not ) and again, after a pass, the bidding was not move. Then i was tried to change requiring an undo with same resulting but anything changed. Why ?)

Indipendently what one can say accordling own system W has an hand with 18 points and three cards for the suit of partner almost 5th. Fourthemore E with 2♠ it is doing a cue for an eventually NT contract. Than all of it says that can be more of 3NT. After 1♥ hand of E value 16 points (with a suit of six cards yet to tell an unbalanced and opp silent).

The lonely hand that i've found to understand the bidding problem (similar but stronger) is :S ♠ AK432 ♥ 8 ♦ AKJ874 ♣ A (not vul vs non vul) bidding : 2♣ - 3♣ - p - 5♣ what bidding S at second round ? Reese : it's early to X, 6♦ it is excessive , pass it is not to think risking to hear 5♥; Besse : 5 "karpics" (director come here); Rose: double Monday, Wednesday, Friday and 5♦ Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday (Sunday probably he get to rest and doesn't answer); Jais : double; Chiaradia and Romanet: 5♠; Genevieve Morenas : 6♦; Belladonna :6♣ (spectacolar cue bid). This hand is from World Championship in Buenos Aires and Le Dentu was in S against Leventritt and Schenken (E-O) and bided 6♣. Then Trezel in N bidded 6♠ (with much fear of Le Dentu). Quote : 5♦=100 pass=80 X or 5♠=70 6♦=60 6♣=? Maxima to remember: Don't force your talent when risk can be much big.(From "Bridge a la une" by Jose Le Dentu IL Fear pagg. 220-221).

It is the last remaining the 5-1-1-6 and to bid so i must have almost 10 points in high cards giving information that the first suit is longer than the second one (i.e. ♠ AKxxx and ♣ AJxxxx). The point is that urge to give at partner the possibility to know i have five cards in spade for a raise with three cards. Because revers with bidding of this type are three (4-5, 4-6 and 5-6) if we can use eventually overbidding of suit of opp after rever meaning its is a max rev. instead inverting the process only for the 5-6 we can focus about shape making rever after overbidding (eventually can be used also for 5-0-2-6 overbidding the suit of opp with two cards reserving it to indicate this rare distribution). Such as if bidding continues so ..2♦-(p)-2♥-(p)-2♠ or 2♦-(3♦)-3♥-(p)-3♠ at partner has arrived the usefull information of five cards in spade (and than six in club).This is my idea to solve this (problematic) bidding because i have not seen/known to have been ever studyied before. Obviously this is possible because opp intervention but lacking it problem seems to remain. How do you think about it ? It is possible to manage this gadget ? Bye.

Well, let's look to get at point from the other side doesn't considering for the moment the 2♦ bidding on second round. The bidding than goes:( p )- 1♣ - (1♦) - 1♥, (p) - 2♠. Now is clear i am on reversed bidding but what hand can i have ? It is normal to think at anything of more usual and probable than a 4 - 5 or also a 4 - 6 spade-club reversed. But it is not so yet about shape.

It is sure at this time that the hand is not balanced (i use overbidding opp suit having hands with analog type of distribution of direct overb.(=1♦-2♦)

I don't exclude shapes or meanings of bidding that you indicated (to verify how is good my idea and If it possibile to make) but a little help can be that it is on argoument. Than i have club suit and one card in diamond ( suit of opp). Actually i seem not to think at heart (suit of partner). Where i have points ? Can have any other thing to bid for showing a strong hand ? And what type and shape ?

Hi, i need to know principally what shape you think i'd have because i want to verify a my idea to see If it is right. Should be clear that i have a strong hand and usually this type of overcalling means i have in diamond 0/1 loser. Can you tell me ?

I have a question on this argoument for a point that seems to me has not been ever threat. Bidding : the opp dealer bids "pass(=p)"- i open with "1♣"- the other opp bids "1♦"- and my partner "1♥", "p". If on my turn now bids 2♦ than overcalling opp what is the meaning of it ? What hand should i have to bid so ?

I am interested to know what are differences in bidding and/or play about the many pubblics clubs (Main, Relaxed, the twos Refugees, Alcol, MSN, BIL and so on). In example in Relaxed club seem to me to see more balanced hands instead of Main club where shapes are unbalanced and bidding more aggressive, thanks.(Lovera)

However it is can also bid 2♦ directly and then raise to 3♥ showing the same points and diamond suit (it is right that with 5- 8421 .. in H, the Ace(=8) there is not).

I am agree with you and this one is as i said in "6♠ at Relaxed Club" as indication(= about alert) at partner to avoid misunderstanding that are easy in bridge bidding if knowledge each other there is not usually because time is few for doing it or less at all if you played in clubs with occasional partner.However as required as a sort of "time out" that instead is more important when need to plain -and anytime can not be simple - the contract to realize. Time to think better way to play is a good thing to have positives resulting that allow you to continue to play.(Lovera)

Usually when you must decide in competitive bidding how 1♥-(1♠)-3♥-(3♠)-? if to continue bidding or double there is a rule called "of 7" and referred about number of your trumps (here 4) at which to add level getting :if it makes 7 or more tells double. [in the italian version of whikipedia is told that :"the film is than based on 3 roles arlecchino(=arlecquin or ♦) picaro(=picche or ♠) and cattivo (=bad or double)"].(Lovera)

4) a passive attack is more likely to succeed if it is carried out in a major suit instead of a minor one because it is clear that it prefers to conclude in 3NT -instead to get at five level - hands characterized by greater strength in minor suits [lacking other indications between spade and heart is preferred spade lead] (from "Il libro completo del bridge" by Guido Barbone pag.381).(Lovera)

B♠B application is where such as we can read JDonn lectures on preempt or where we can play at clubs (Main or Relaxed or others). I have i.e. players searching partner (MasonBarger or also barmar) and i think is how this site but anytime seems to have another live or to be apart. Is it so?
