Once, WBF, it's always WBF, tried the business solution, I believe it was in a Bermuda, to get some money with VG broadcasting. Now they are trying it again with Funbridge. I have nothing against FB, but since we have a fantastic bbo service, till now universal and free, should we let WBF, I'll skip personal names, make a business against us? Any comments wlc João Faria

I want to thank you for your kind words. Although I may agree with your statement, I already explained my reasons for xx in another answer. Took as a challenge to find a proper solution for a ill stated problem, as I did at the table. My best students at university always do. JF

Sry p opens 1♦ and RHO x

LHO opens 1♦, partner x, after a pass from RHO u got ♠Qxx ♥xxx ♦KTxx ♣xxx Supose u decide to bid one of the 3 card majors (opinions split about which) and p cues with 2 ♦ What now? Strong enough to bid 2nt? Or decide to repeat the same first round major? On general ground, what do you think to be the minimum to bid 2nt?

We are in the same wavelength as I expected :) The question is can I have an alternative of bidding, I mean discuss "in private" with my partner the best contarct without telling the world what I got in my bag?

I had no doubt partner would take 1♠ as forcing :) Actually I rejected 1♠ a bit for laziness as having the stronger suit in the market I thought I would always be in command

I was playing with a casual partner, no deep agreements. Chose xx instead of 1♠ thinking it would be easier to create forcing situations in the future. As for any number of♠ being forcing now, I have my view but would like to know yours :)

U got: ♠AQJxxx ♥xxx ♦AQx ♣x And watch 1♦ from partner x, wrong or write decided to xx 2♣ x from partner pass What do you bid and why. Would like to know if my choice has any followers :) JF
