With these kind of hands why do you want to play 5m rather than 4Hx ? In the long run it doesnt pay to play 5m on 18-19 LOTT. (+ in the 2nd example here you have pure H holding but most of the time its going to be a soft holding wich mean 5m rate to be terrible). The same way over a 4D preempt i much prefer that my take out X is both M and partner is 100% on his own if he bid clubs. You sacrifice a suit but gain more flexibility and avoid some stupid result, it simply maximize my chance to play 4Dx , 4M in the right suit at the cost of not playing 5C. At one point you have to decide that the X are take out but only for the unbid M. (3red)-p-(5red)-X to see partner bid 6C is simply a joke. For me the 4 level is perfect for that when my partner shape is somewhat limited.

I play 2nt as good 16 to 19 so X followed by 2nt seems normal. Ive seen too many optimist 3Nt going down.

3Nt direct against weak players pass and 3S against strong players. Strong players know that leading an A is a must in "3Nt gambling" type contracts.

If 1Nt is forcing it mean responder can easily have just 4H and extra value wich make a H lead clearcut. If 1Nt is not forcing then i responder is almost sure to have 5H wich mean a club lead is probably as good as a trumps. Your hoping partner got a slow trick in club that will disappear on the 4 or 5th spades. Just saw that its a passed hand so im leading clubs.

and paste into notepas save has .bss files and open wiht full disclosure (im using old non java bbo) so i dont know how it work with java version

its not complete some sequence after 1C are not complete. Also in 1M opening its possible low short/high shortage is reversed. Some 6511 are missing https://rapidshare.com/files/816237614/timo.bss

Also am i the only one to play that over a take out X partner has only 2 options here pass or 4s ?

The way i see it is that partner has 4 reason for bidding 2Nt rather than Xing. 1 hes got short spades. 2- hes got 2 stoppers in H 3- hes max (19pts for me) with 1 H stopper and hes afraid of X and raising S on 3 cards. 4- hes short in a m. In frequency order from most to least i think its 1243. If your preempt have a low requirement any 6 cards suit/ great 5 is possible than the way i like to play my X is that partner pass with every 1/2/3 and bid 4S with case 4. It also permit 4S to be 5-5 or 5044 by passed hand. People play their takeout X just too much takeout and not enough penalty often its pointless to make takeout for multiple strains when only the majors matters. On this hand i would be very disappointed to be in 4S instead of 4Hx. Reaching 5D is not a consolation. If we are red or have high requirement for a preempt than our 4S should be a suit playable vs a doubleton. Since the case where partner has 3S its because hes got a double stopper in H. Wich make defending more interesting.

That is also what i think. 2Nt with 17 vs 6 is worse case, 18 vs 6 2Nt is slighty bad, 3Nt with 17 vs 7 doesnt bother me at all. These cases are just lower in frequency than the equivalent case, If short its better to play 1Nt with 15-8 and 2Nt with 17-6 than the opposite because of frequency. I was talking imps or course. When responders denies 4M/6D and you have a 3235 i think 2C(5or6) still showing a minimum hand is safer, (since responder can have 6 pts and opener 15, 1Nt is not 100% safe). But i admit the improvement is minimal. Also for D its less clear since responder was maybe planning 1S--1Nt---2C (inv with 6 clubs) but if i bid 2D he will possibly need to return to 2M/3C with 3316 or similar shapes. Keeping 2D as 5D+5H or 5350 is nice too.

No, note that after a X you have the 4Nt-5m-5H way and direct 5H. The direct 5H should show that 6 is still in the picture and the delayed is weaker.

Our 1C 15+ All of this assume that our inv range is 6-8 In the sequence 1C-1D-1H-1S -- ?? responder has 6-8 pts without 4M + without 6m but he could be balanced or unbalanced, opener is 15-18 with at least 3H (he can still have 6C+3H 15-18 or an unbal hands with 5M 15-17 or 6S+4H, 15-17) opener options are 1Nt = a certain range (15-16 , 15-17 or 15-18) 2C = 5 clubs 15-17 approx (note here that responder worse hand is 3352) so hes going to have at least 2 clubs and going to have 3 clubs or more at least 95% Wich IHMO mean that every minimum hand with 5C he should bid 2C (bal or not 5M+5C too). 2D = available (5D a certain range si probably best) ( again partner worse hand is 3325 so you are heavy favorite to get 3 card support from partner) so ihmo its clear that any mini hand with 5D should bid 2D 2H = should show 6 H 15-17 2S = available (should show 6S+4H 15-17 i guess or 6 bad S and 3 decent H) 2Nt = a certain range (17,18) (18) or not available. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the rebid 1Nt = 15-18 then responder is expected to raise to 2Nt with a 8 count. This will mean your going to miss game when 7 vs 18 and reach 2Nt when 15 vs 8 or 16 vs 8. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the 1Nt rebid is 15-16, you will never going to missed 25pts game but you will play 2Nt when 17 vs 6 or 18 vs 6 or 17 vs 7. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If the 1nt rebid is 15-17 (with 18 exactly you bid 2Nt) and partner never raise 1Nt to 2NT. you will miss 17 vs 8 and play 2Nt 18 vs 6 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- If the 1nt rebid is 15-17 (with 18 exactly you bid 2Nt) and partner raise with a 8 count you will never miss a 25pts game but you will play 2Nt 15-8 or 16 vs 8. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some other concern 1C--1D--1H--1S---1nT 2C should be a club inv since we cannot show the club inv after 1C--1D--1H--- because (1NT = spades inv) but 2D2H2S can be used for something. 2D can be a inv with only a 5 card suit and 2M can be 3 cards INV with shortness somewhere or they could be bal GF (13+). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In principle there is a lot more of 8 vs 15 than 17 vs 6. But the fact that some minimum hand where opener have a 5 card minor are in 2C/2D and not in 1NT might change things. Also 16 vs 8 play slightly better that 18vs 6. Wich range do you prefer ?

We are a passed hand so if your requirement for a weak 2 are low (meaning its impossible for us to have pts and 6S) our 4S partner will show 5S +5m or 5044 right ? Im a big fan of show cards double that are passed very frequently, this hand is perfect for me I X partner isnt allowed to pull to 5m. He will only pull to 4S with 4 card support and without too much soft values in H.

1Nt is perfect the hand is not strong enough for 2C. I think 3Nt is slightly lazy, Most of the time south is going to have a plain bal 12-14, but he can easily have 4351,4153 up to 15 and possible even a 4252 up to 16 (downgrade the S honnors) , and I also allow some 4162 (im in the minority here but i know im not alone). 2S is a freeroll bid (cost nothing may gain) Wouldnt sleep missing slam on this one. Meant wouldnt lose sleep missing this slam

For the op the way that i see it is Pair A, never psych Pair B psych X% amount pair C psych twice as often as pair B. Pair D (Us) If pair D play against ABC but dont know them and dont play long enough to learn their tendency. We (Pair D) will keep the same strategies against all of them but we are going to have a different payoff matrix against each of them. Our strategy will deal against their psyching habit a certain way. Those payoff matrix have nothing to do wiht NE. Its possible pair C just psych too much and get bad results agaisnt us even if we have dont have any method to deal with psych. 2nd case we get to know ABC and devise a strategies against them knowing their psych habits. (for example against the pair who never psych i use some double that are normally penalty and played them takeout.)etc Now if we can get better results with 1 specific strategy against each of them, its because this new information (their psyching ratio) give me an edge. If that is the case than there is a NE somewhere. There is a psych % amount that even if it know it i will not be able to devise a counter strategy that will yield profit. This is a NE. Any deviation of this % ratio of psych can be exploited if we know the deviation.

I dont really understand the open interval game. If its a number theory game or deal with infinites than maybe there exceptions. From what i understand. In a symmetric game Player A show his matchplan to B. A = a%, B =b%, C=c% etc B has an optimal strategy to counter A plan. Player B matrix payoff will yield a profit because of B ability to know player A plan. But in such game, its possible for A to randomize the decision in a way that even if player B know the matchplan he wont be able to get a +EV result and that is a NE. If its impossible to compute the best strategy because of raw complexity or because the other player play poorly, than i admit NE is going to be impossible to reach but its still there in theory.

Everytime you can get an edge by knowing what the other people are doing there is a Nash Equilibrium. Probabilistic, deterministic, finite, infite , cooperative or competitive it doesnt really matter. What really matter is the possibility or gaining or giving information away and that information is useful for designing strategies. In chess game for example knowing your opponent opening repertoire will help you prepare for the game but he too will know that you have acces to the information and he will have the choice of throwing you a "curveball" or sticking to his usuall fastball. On the road the tendencies of the other drivers will influence your driving strategies wich will influence the other drivers and at the end there is some sort of possible maxima equilibrium.

West jsut has to keep the same lenght of H with dummy and diamonds. The only squeeze is when East has 5H and KQ of D or west misdefend and keep a club.

Ive seen my mistake i was hoping for [hv=pc=n&s=sahdajct9&n=sha7d7ca7]133|200[/hv] But this position isnt possible with north on lead.

In imps I would bid 3D with 6D and 3S. With 6D and 2S, I would happily pass (id be disappointed if I have 3 baby clubs but with 3 baby clubs i would probably open 1D). Its surely possible 3D make and 3S go down. At MP 3D would be supperaccept with retransfer. Rightsiding is important in MP.

maybe im wrong but it seems anytime West have 5H im ok (auto double squeeze) and if East has 5H i need him to have KQ of D

Congrats but dont try to take a patent on it, otherwise im going to look at some of my older post on the forum :) trust me there is really no need, just use 3C-3H-4H as 53?? if partner got 5H your ok, if hes got 3S your ok and if hes 42(43) everytime you are 53(41) or 53(50) 4H in the 43 will be slighty better than 3Nt. So only when 53(32) vs 24(43) you will be in an slighty inferior 4H rather than 3Nt. Keeping 2Nt--3Nt and 2Nt--3S free for something else is much much much more efficient that a nf 53(xx) not close at all. Also note that if you bid 3Nt with a 53(14) and partner got 2S4H he will pass while ill be playing in a slightly superior 4H. If you want to simply raise to 4H you bid 3S and over 3Nt you bid 4H, it allow a free lead directing X but switching the response is worse. (3S asking for 5H or 5S/3H and 4H direct to play)

low D, no comments. Low club is a close 2nd

5H no comments. I cannot really afford to make cue bid at the 4 level since it would setup forcing passes and i dont think i want to be forced to play 5Sx or 6H. But i really hate the 1H overcall. For me this is a 4H or 3H hand.

Yes and 2S, no comments

2S My comments were in balance bid what you can make and i prefer 2 to 3 and 4S is a joke.
