Cos you did not bid 2hts four losers, forcing, 5/6 hts prob the later and a dfit.

At the table there is only one person on your side. If the top players are an example after the competition they tear strips of each other then start over as if nothing has happened. I find artificial politeness offensive. However two friends can say things to each other without creating offence.

By the way losing a club will rectify the count whatever good that may do!

No phil the only chance of four club tricks is a stiff king on your left then finesse against 10,9 on right, however unlikely then you do not need d finesse so small to Ac, and small to Q assuming it does not drop king on first round the we need two diamonds so chance is 50% plus a tiny bit for singleton k of clubs, if clubs split badly and we need three d tricks the you have to play for Kx on your right. Good luck in the Ryder cup.

Phil if! But if not?

It seems to me Caitlynne is spot on, I do not see how leading the knave cane be right as it will be covered or lose, except. On bbo! So two spades fivehearts and two da and a club is still not enough. We needto play clubs for no losers , if we cannot then we need d finesse so play clubs first. Now its a standard play you all know if we lose one then we need d finesse

Cannot talk to p at all on ipad host or not, seems best but could be useful if teaching. Then its all clear to everyone at the table. But how do you get teaching table on ipad?

Well done food for thought. I think i have a solution but not telling obviously.

Dependng on your system 1nt would show the strength, not two but 2d would be our style as a ucb

Am with you kaitlyn, not yeti's somewhat artifical construction.

A pre empt

2d first time and then least problem , 1nt just causes issues.
