If a declarer claim is wrong and so can lose a trick in this ending I would not argue with the claim as a defender. GIB agrees. It is human. lol

I apologize. Read the bid not correctly. Deleted my quote. GIB bids are garbage.

MOROBOTIC - One new word

4♠ at money bridge. 5♠ at matchpoints or Imps. Pass might be right decision also as opponents might go cold on bidding to the maximum knowing breaks could be bad. If declarer has a stiff ♥ as entry to dummy with his strong hand, then he already know he's got extra 3+ tricks plus his own GF hand. You bidding ♠ wont stop him bidding slam.

can anyone explain what this bidding forum post is about? you pass as south and north bids 3n. period,

Yes!

double trouble. pass coward. equal choice =

double penalty-responsive-takeout lol. 3nt bad breaks. better +200/500

4♥ not ok. mad. too much defense. ♥ suit 6 long. very mad. even white/red

what card did he discard on the previous trick, or was there a ♣ in dummy at that time?? if he discarded a small ♠ on previous trick, then 'any' surely would say a ♠ again. dummy was a right dumbass not watching play and discarding a winning card.

My instinct is to win in dummy (duh!) and lead a low heart. good analysis. rectify count at trick 2.

I open 3♣ [east] if W and N pass. Then N/S end up in 5♠?

The EU has ruined my country, Sweden. At the beginning it was good, but now EU is a big mess, wasting money, my money and taxes. The English are right to go from the EU. But my English friends say the EU won't let them go. As when England goes, then other countries will also go. Then the corrupt politicians will all lose their jobs. The EU will break into pieces.

rule of 15. two aces. easy rebid

what is N bidding on? air? if ♥K played from dummy then unblock Q

support X for minor - NO! takeout X - YES if partnership not use Walsh

opponents could take first 6 tricks, but on probability partner more likelier to have stiff than void so opponents cant take tricks except if suit solid or lead overtake. weak two opener not made on solid suit so I bid 3nt also.

Pass. You have showed your hand. Better + than -

♠10. to not block suit

I work in Algo-Trade (investment bank) and me and my traders all fear what happens if stock market go again into Bear territory.. Human response to falling shares, equities can be rationale. Algorithmic Trades in Bear market is more fluid, instant. Who knows if we let computers finally run ALL our lives. Meltdown???

1NT is ok, but 1♥ is better. Its better to bid a good suit than to bid 1NT here. 1NT is a underbid. 17 plus a good suit equals more than 1NT.

North is bidding aggressive. Must have good better fit. Spade void. South with heart stiff must bid rkcb. 2 out of 3 aces make slam a good call.

Helvic convention is alternative.

Stupid. 5!D makes.

I think 5NT showing two places to stop and forcing pass are as equal. expert partner should work it out. Two bids that I could not make are 6!H and X.
