  1. I play in those free tournaments where most of the players are b/i and I can say imo that Micheals Cuebid will not be standard. I can say that even take out double if you see it on some of b/i it means they have a lot of cards in the op suit and is penalty. To billw55 I saw a lot of advanced players in BBO either with bad biding and playing. I suppose they do like you put on level higher to get good partners. You should not post in a forum with the name Beginner and Intermediate Bridge Discussion and say all intermediates are bad.
  2. my plan is to discard a club on a heart. so i take the club with ace. play a low trump to ace and then a low heart to queen. after this all remaining is cross ruff.
  3. bingo expect female bbo posters to complain and write to abuse@bbo.com about your statement lol
  4. I'm a lurker because I try to avoid being a troll

  7. I think I said this before and I say sorry for repetiton. In my father family 7 kids all that smoke died at age like 80 something by natural death and the others who didn't smoke die at cancer at age 60 something. I quit smoking thanks to Mike Bloomberg who raise the price to 10$ a pack and the bad economy which left my wife without job so I couldn't spend like 300$ per month(10$ a pack here in New York). I was smoking like 1pack and a half. I quit in 2009 however I will smoke again if times are better. I really do not put much on what those studies and results about smoking. Since I give up smoke I have bad headache every night and gain a lot of weight and now have more healty problems then when i was smoking.
  8. you said less than 75% will bid 2s so in that category will fit all from 0 to to 74% or beter say only 25% will not bid 2s. I wanted to point out that I got the feeling that some advance -expert play think what is clear -cut for them it should be the same for b/i. Your first post looks like you got bugged by the poster question. That's why I said is not clear cut 1s or 2s for most of the b/i players. I hope I'm wrong. I recognize that I always post those "clear-cut" problems because I'm not advance-expert and it is what I was thinking at table could be a problem. After I read the replies I realize or remember and I regret that I posted. Sorry for that.
  9. yes still shows what I was saying. Second If you refer to the BIL club I may agree that they should know it. Anyhow I should have say "IMO" instead of "I can bet" in the end it doesn't matter.
  10. I can bet that if you give this hand to a group of b/i most of them will bid 2s.
  11. rho open 1club and you hold J95 AQJ AQT5 AK2 what's your bid? If you bid 1d(as I did) the opener will bid 1s over now what?
  12. noroc bun! Sant sigur ca o sa ai rezultate bune cel putin la fel de bune ca si postarile tale aici in forum.
  13. any thread related to the skill level of BBO players. it should be the winner because come up almost every month. :)
  14. same as bill1157 except i ruff a diamond and then I play the club honor.
  15. Hi everyone I had the west hand and I criticize my partner in a polite way I hope that she should bid over with her hand and not let opps play the 5hx because her hand has no defense. Now she came back with an answer from her professional bridge teacher which he said 2 things: 1. I should have not double. Do you agree with her teacher? 2. Any double over 2s is penalty. Do you agree with her teacher ? We still bridge partners however we did feel to clear this problem. best regards jocdelevat .

  16. same as in soccer some of us continue to bet for BB on teams with not so good results in the past 2 years like USA2 and Italy. BB Winners: Netherlands RU: China Semi: Brazil, Bulgaria Quarter: Germany,USA1,France,Norway
  17. IMHO as a b/i if is neecesary to hire a pro for learn, tournament or even for fun and I see him doesn't let me be declerer I for sure give up on his services. I see the declerer play as the most interesed part of the game and for that reason I like the game. I have some b/i partners that like to say "oh i hate to play nt contracts" and do not understand them. Whats the fun of the game for you a b/i with not much knowledge about biding and defense? The answer should always be declerer play. If you do not like that why do you play the game.
  18. I think you should not use vmware it defeat the purpose of giving up on windows which by the way is a mistake.
  19. B/i response is 8 ever 9 never.(I'm not sure but I think even on learn to play bridge -BBO section says not to finesse when you have 9) That what I was taught however good to learn something new. I suppose OP wanted to confirm his thoughts and play from adv/experts not from b/i . Those are 2 reasons why I think you didn't see any response from b/i.

  22. I thought first to play hearts forcing the op ruff but that still not enough he can keep his diamonds and let us play hearts. So I think we need to play all the cards till we remain with only aq heart on dummy by ruffing the 3 clubs play the 3 spades, play the 2 diamonds and ruff a small heart or better say to strip the dummy and op hand.
  23. yes I do. both hands has 2 aces and respect the rule of 20. if pard bid 2nt i bid 3nt.
