BBO Expert -- Bridge Master
babalu1997 replied to Little Kid's topic in General Bridge Discussion (not BBO-specific)
Me too. I've always thought it a shame that there aren't more deals, though. I think there would be a huge market if there was a set for defense instead of just declarer play. there is the woolsey book on partnership defense sold by bbo it is quite good But wait!!! Doesn't that require cooperating with the CHO? :D splain that joke, what is cho -

dorothy truscott listed 41 declarrer play problems in her books and added a rating for the number of problems solved 39-41 When is your book coming out? -
i do not see too many players advertising bbo advanced so i wonder whether it is worth it learning the cards and putting up in profile. what dou you think? i wear KS in my profile and the KS players do come out of the woods.

You call on the water cooler folks and get free therapy, i have been doing it for years. But seriously tho, i do get disturbed by events of the same nature, and get most annoyed when opps break the tempo to control the game and get average. i do not think i can stop it, but would love to know how to stop this effect from leaking into other hands. i had a partner for 3 years who would be upset at every mistake and grumble immediately in bertween rounds-- i managed to stop it by simply ceasing to play with him-- it was a triple whammy.

Book Recommendation Request
babalu1997 replied to vuroth's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
Mollo`s declarer play technique should be added to the list. I strongly prefer it to watson`s, it being that mollo was a non native speaker of english, just like me, and makes colourful use of the language. gwnn remember easy things start out difficult, watson is thorough, and woe that people practiced half of it. i second truscott`s one too. -
easy there were subliminal algebraic questions in the sesame street sponsorship

Lulu Santos Como uma Onda (Zen-Surfismo) Lyrics: (Lulu Santos - Nelson Motta) Nada do que foi será De novo do jeito que já foi um dia Tudo passa, tudo sempre passará A vida vem em ondas como um mar Num indo e vindo infinito Tudo que se vê não é Igual ao que a gente viu a um segundo Tudo muda o tempo todo no mundo Não adianta fugir nem mentir Pra si mesmo agora Há tanta vida lá fora Aqui dentro sempre Como uma onda no mar Nada do que foi será De novo do jeito que já foi um dia Tudo passa, tudo sempre passará A vida vem em ondas como um mar Num indo e vindo infinito Tudo que se vê não é Igual ao que a gente viu a um segundo Tudo muda o tempo todo no mundo Não adianta fugir nem mentir Pra si mesmo agora Há tanta vida lá fora Aqui dentro sempre Como uma onda no mar

nowadays, evry tom dick and harry is getting online degrees i am not convinced that becoming a master or doctor of silly bids can be done from the comfort of your living room and the cost per credit is at least three times as much as it would be in a real university i have resisted pursuing any type of academic degree online because, honestly, upon reading my resume they would wonder why i have gotten higher degree from a mickey mouse school after having attended reputable universities so many of my colleagues are gradually becoming masters of silly bids, although i heard that their degrees are not considered in salary considerations-- but they add letters to their names i do not call them doctors, sorry, those methods in social sciences and educology are hardly science and they call those questionnaires research are you happy? agree strongly, disagree strongly..... ps. let me know if i can use your answer in my doctorate thesis about economic exploitations of silly-bidding lols

DID I DO THAT?
babalu1997 replied to babalu1997's topic in General Bridge Discussion (not BBO-specific)
actually i did make 3nt, some were down 4, some were down 1 on the end the result was 66 percent here is what i think has been happening at odd times in the windiws server some scores appear on my movie and then change later before they only appeared when the round was complete so the zero eventually became 66 percent thanks folks -

I would not have opened the hand he had, but he did, and having as responder the values of an opening bid, i bid 3nt after listening to 1h. lead was a 4th best spade standard play, i hold up, i do make the 3nt. the partner logs off before the 7 of 8 is over, but no love lost, the score was a ZERO, ATB

Bidding sequence
babalu1997 replied to Rossoneri's topic in General Bridge Discussion (not BBO-specific)
i think pass forcing, dbl cooperative in either sa or 2/1, a 2 over 1 promises a rebid, make the rebid, dble if you can of course for the pass to be forcing your opening has to have 2 defensive tricks. but i can see those who open 11 pointers aceless balanced wonders who could not abide a forcing pass -
depends on whether the area of expertise is bridge or not

is there a way where a bidding table or a teaching table could display an incomplete deal? i mean a problem like this partner leads the 3 dummy has kjx and plays low you have qtx what card do you play i would like the persins at the table to see the layout in just that one suit can this be done easily by a programming zero like me?
