There seems to have been a suggestion on these lines a long time ago but I can't find a recent thread on this topic. Nor have I seen any explanation as to why the feature has never been implemented. I play with some people that are not particularly technical and they appreciate that I start and host our private table. If I lose the connection and rejoin it would be very much appreciated if I could become host again. But currently this does not appear possible. I can't think of a logical reason why a host cannot transfer this responsibility to another player at the table. Is there a reason why this has never been implemented? Or is it just that I don't know how to do it? Thanks in advance --Tony

Stephen, Thanks so much for the superb reply. I can sleep easy tonight!

For the record, I play ACOL with my partner but the question I am posing and the answers will probably apply to all natural systems. My LHO opens 1♦, partner doubles, RHO passes and I have two four card majors. Should I always bid ♥ or should I bid my better quality suit? To be clear, partner would usually overcall with 8-15 points and a 5 card major, and must have at least one 4 card major. Furthermore, she will trust me to bid at the two level with 8 points plus. So 90% of the time she will pass whatever my response is. I have seen some articles that suggest bidding the cheaper of two major suits but it makes no sense to me. True, if I have 8+ point and my partner has 16+ points and a good 6 card ♥ suit the bidding may go: (1♦) - X - (P) - 2♠ - (P) - 3♥, but we will normally make that contract anyway. Whatever suit I bid there is a risk that we will end up in a 4-3 fit and if so I would surely like it to be my strong suit no?
