[hv=d=w&s=sakqjt7hat9dqjca6]133|100|Scoring: IMP P-P-P-?[/hv] National KO, 1st round. Simple 2/1 with gadgets, 3 weak 2's, your bid?

Is LHO not entitled to look at your CC during play? Would solve the problem surely

Can we have this thread pinned...? Maybe we could start a new comedy section of the forum.

At the table i looked around for my 2 and a half spade bid, found someone had stolen it from my box so settled on 2S. Pard made 2S, as in 2 tricks he should of made 3 but that's neither here nor there. Good board against 620, director is called and the opponents ask for it recorded, whilst muttering about psykes being legal and thinking they should be banned. All is well and good. Later in the round the director comes back and says it's been fielded and changes the score to 60%-30%. I then have to waste half my lunch break waiting for the appeals committee to turn up. When they do they decided it's no longer been fielded, but warm me if I bid 2S again it will be fielding. Good ruling?

2C is just bonkers, it's MP's +90 in 2C is not a good score when you have a spade fit.

[hv=d=s&v=b&s=sj9xhqxxxdxcaq7xx]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv] Swiss pairs, 8 board matches, your currently nowhere in the field of 600 with only 4 out of 14 rounds gone. Your playing in a casual partnership with a friend, an inexperienced but talented player. You play 2/1 15-17 throughout 5card majors. You do not play Drury, that's not the point, deal with it! EDIT: the auction is P-P-1S-P-?

1NT-2♦ 2♥-2NT 3♣-off we go 1NT 14-16 2NT 4+♣ GF 3♣ I have 4+ What do I win?

It's a bidders game.

erm? Do I have a 4-3-3-3 12 count with QJx under the opener? Why would i want to bid?

huh? Surely pre-empts add a random element to the game? They give you hard decisions, do they make it a crap shoot? At the highest level everyone has impeccable judgement and can pull off double criss cross squeezes routinely. So the way to win is to put pressure on your opponents and give them more decisions, sure they'll get a lot right but if you give them enough, more than you have to make, they'll eventually get some wrong. Basically top class bridge is a crap shoot. I ♥ your logic.

I used to work in a toyshop, now i'm a bum, this thread reminded me a i need a new job :(

How about pass forces ReDbl, weak/ to play. ReDbl to play, which opponent looks more nervous?

I vote for 1NT, what else?

P.S. I hope I added enough options.

[hv=s=sakqxhaqtxxxdxxxc]133|100|Scoring: XIMP[/hv] (1♦)-1♠-(P)-? Playing in the main bridge club with regular partner.

What about a defender leading out of turn after an opponent had said it was his lead? Mis-information?

pass...its just so obvious!

What if it goes (ekren 2♥)-X-(XX)-?

Anyone for a "trap pass"?
