bid_em_up

ahem. Tyler's being lazy. Assuming you are playing NMF as GF, just bid 3♣.

Then we must be accessing it through different links: http://www.bridgebase.com/points/index.php used to give the breakdown as you describe it. The above link no longer does that for me.

you're missing the point. On the previous point (lets not call it masterpoints) screen, you could view all points won on BBO by month, year, and point type (even non-ACBL points). iirc, they were further split by robot reward/race or club type if that's where the points had been won. Now its just one big list with everything combined together and no summary total for anything.

Yea, what was the point behind this? It really sucks, imo.

Change the dates. Depending on when the last time an update (purge) of the database occurred, you might be able to find from 3-6 months worth of hands (but only one month's worth at a time). If the purge occurred recently, there may only be a few days worth of hands available.

must be Fred Flinstones long lost cousin.

If you're so sure he only has 2/3 right, why are you asking the question?

Mike, Should the above vary based upon the length of the match? In a short match (i.e. six boards), I would expect that it would need a higher percentage of success in order to actually bid the grand. Yes? No?

Don't know about qualified, but I've been told I'm certifiable before. Does that count?

At this vul., I'll risk a double.

Your partner is a regular intermediate forum poster who asked you to play on a moment's notice. Sorry if that offends your sense of interesting. I'm just presenting things as they happened. And that, in and of itself, is what made it interesting. For me, anyway. Feel free to assume whatever you wish, but without agreement, doing so would be completely foolish, regardless of where you are playing.' (and fwiw, 3C was not a positive leb. response as it turned out)

wtf is 4♦? Opener has a terrible opening hand and should just bid 4♠ (imo).

No. (technically, it's undiscussed, so I would not assume that we are)

[hv=s=sakq98hk7daqcaq104]133|100|[/hv] All vul, imp scoring. Sitting East, you pick up this fine collection and hear: (P)-P-(2♥)- you decide to double here, and the auction continues: X- (p)-3♣-(3♥)-? Over to you.

Do you really believe this?

.[hv=s=skqxhakj109xdxca98]133|100|[/hv] Assuming this is really my hand, I will convert to 6N since I can count 12 tricks. (5 hearts, 3 spades plus AK, AK in the minors) and be happy.

Dammit, Spot, I told you not to tell about that bush incident.

Claw me once, shame on you. Claw me twice, shame on me. (you should've learned what would happen after the first time). :D

Why are we so sure that the other black suit loser is covered? Combine this with with the fact that we're missing the trump Q, and I'm comfortable with passing.

..

I like playing transfer advances after 2♣ openings, so I would make a stolen bid double in this case.

Pass = Partner asked me a question. I answered. He signed off. I have exactly what I said I had, so the auction is over. 6♦ = "I'm an idiot.", "I think my partner is an idiot", or "Neither one of us know wtf we're doing so I'm bidding 6 just in case one of us is wrong".
