My answer has more weight than Justin's because it's longer. Unfortunately, however, I can't think of any other reason for you to believe me rather than him. Maybe you are right. It could indicate that you thought longer about it....not sure that compensates enough :)
-
2 different answers. So I guess they both have their merits. (Not sure if gnasher plays at the same level as jlall and that his answer has the same weight :) ) Note that opps are not world class. They are only a little better then I. That was one of the reasons that I did bid 4♦. (2NT)-pass-(3♦)-4♦ (DBL)-pass-(5♣)-Pass (6♣)-Pass-(6♥)-All Pass with screens: DBL=Penalty (explained by DBLer); ♥-fit and control ♦ (explained by 3♦ bidder) 5♣=control (explained by 5♣ Dbler); to play (explained at other side). What do you lead?

[hv=d=w&v=e&s=s98hxdkjt9xxxcjxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] (2NT)-Pass-(3D)-?? Opps open 2NT 20-21 and transfer to ♥. Pass, DBL, 4♦, 5♦?

three from the the "who deals these?" files
kgr replied to xcurt's topic in Interesting Bridge Hands
Same for me except for 2nd deal: I bid 5♣ iso 5♥. It is possible that opps will go to 5♠ and then I prefer a ♣ lead from partner. (I'm a passed hand, so partner will not make too much from my 5♣). -
That is a bad habbit from me against trump contracts. I probably payed too much MP's? Tell me when I should lead more aggressive (also at MP's)?
-
I thought Walsh was a standard part of 2/1 and so I would think that 1♥ is kind of a reverse and forcing? !!This is a question. I don't really know 2/1!!

The website showing 14 cards is a good indication of the quality

Bidding gone off the rails
kgr replied to MattieShoe's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
I would never bid 2NT without agreements (maybe in SAYC it is GF, but some will think it is inviting)...that makes the 2NT bid even worse. Why torture your partner (..or your partner you) if there is a perfect other bid? -
I started using the Web version because of the additional functionality for bidding tables. ... My partner and opened a bidding table, but I can't find anywhere if the hands are recorded (not on-line and not on my PC). Can that be changed somewhere? Let me add a question here: Is it possible to change the bidding system of the bots (eg let them play multi 2D)?
-
Useful that it also contains opps bidding. Thanks!
-
It shows a weak hand and is not forcing?
-
playing and learning new system with my partner - Any web sites with partnership bidding excercises? - Is it possible to let bots bid a specific system (eg multi 3♦) to learn the defence against it? - Is it possbile to use Full Disclosure alone (simply to test my own knowledge of the system on my own).

Did you tell your partner he invited game opposite a weak opening bid with a 13 count and a singleton in your main suit?! He hoped I had less in ♠ and more in minors

[hv=n=sxxxhtdakqtcat9xx&s=skxhkq9xxdjxxxcjx]133|200|[/hv] 2♥-3♣ 3♠-5♦ 2♥=Muiderberg 3♣=invite with fit for both minors 3♠=max with ♦ (I'm not sure if my partner did bid 5♦ or if I did 5♦ over 4♦) The lead was ♠A and a small ♠ for -1.
-
My partner told me that this is not a good hand when he invites for the minors and probably wants to go to 5♦. Too much points in the short suits. He thinks it is better to bid 3♦ (minimum with ♦) after having opened vulnerable.
-
[hv=n=sxhqjxxdakxxxxcxx&s=sakqjxxxhdqxckxxx]133|200|[/hv] Bidding continued ...5♥-6♦ 6♠ LHO did lead a small ♣ for RHO's A and a ♣ ruff for -1
-
All our agreements are weird. From the agreed bids why try to make the least weird bid at the table ;)

Inverted Minors in a strong NT context
kgr replied to lowerline's topic in Natural Bidding Discussion
I play after 1♣-2♣: 3♣= min with ♣ 3NT=to play (13-14 pts) 2♦=either GF with something in ♦ or minimum balanced (normally no 4c♣) 2♥/♠= GF with something in the suit bid. 2NT=18-19 1♣-2♣ 2♦-2♠ = transfer to 2NT or GF with something in ♠ -
[hv=d=s&v=n&s=skxhkq9xxdjxxxcjx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] You open 2♥ Muiderberg = 5c♥ and 4+minor and weak. Your partner bids 3♣ = game try (support for both minors) (Partner could hava bid 2NT to ask your minor, but any more bid from him would then be GF or slem interest). You have following options: 3♦ = minimum with ♦ suit 3♠ = maximum with ♦ suit 3NT = not defined You would open most 11 pts hands with 1♥, but you don't have much in your minor and you were Red (partner already expects better then min). What do you bid?
-
5♥ showing 1st control...any suit agreed? I did bid 5♥ at the table, but it wasn't really clear what it meant. Partner bids 6♦. What do you do now?
-
It is a difficult question: what is trumps when you bid 4NT after this bidding. - ♥ because you'll almost always play in that 7+card major. And you already made a GF with 2♠, So 3♠ should now set ♥ as trump. 4♦ didn't agree ♦'s then, it was a cue for ♥ (♦ cue possible with ♦Q in partners suit) - ♦, because that suit was agreed as trump. 3♠ was only looking for ♠ stop to play 3NT. We need someone who has writtin a book about control bids to answer this question. ;) 1♥-(1♠)-2♦ 4♥-4NT 5♠-6♦ (6♦ asking 3rd round control ♦) 7♥
-
I agree most with this answer. DBLing 2♦ is not good (if it prepares a penalty DBL) because you know they will have a ♠ fit.

[hv=d=n&v=n&s=sakqjxxxhdqxckxxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Junior partner opens 1♦ (4+card). Normally his openings in 1st hand are ok, but they can be weaker with good shape. 1♦-(1NT!)-2♥!-(4♥) Pass-(pass)-?? 1NT=♣&♥ (NonVul 4-4 or better, with 4-4 around an opening) 2♥=GF, 5+card ♠ What do you bid now? Will you force to 6? What is a 5♥ bid here?
-
4♦, pass correct
