JWS123

Well, I played again tonight and did not do well :P . I asked my partner to post CC for both of us but he did not know how. Neither did I. Still confused. Also, it would be nice to work things out BEFORE the tournament begins. Still confused about posting an agreed CC. How can we play showing different cards?

That sounds like a good strategy. Maybe along the line I can find a regular partner that will play new conventions like Blooman bids over opponents 1 NT. ;)

Last night I played in my first tournament on BBO. 12 boards, 7 to 830 PM. Not many teams, but we did come in first place! Won .21 master points. 1300 more tournaments like that and I will no longer be a 299er. I never did figure out how to post my convention card. By default it went to SAYC, although partner said she wanted to play 2/1 and I said OK. Anyway 2/1 never came up anytime. I can see the need to have a regular partner that you can have bidding agreements with before you play. All in all, playing on the computer can be an interesting experience.

I also am having a problem with the use of a convention card with a partner that you have just met as the tournament starts. Yesterday I played in my first tournament. Right away I had to start bidding, the director said I had to post a convention card, and I had no idea what conventions my partner wanted to play. Is there a way I can say just use partner's CC?

I am also looking for a partner. Where is HK? I am in Texas. Are you interested in playing in ACBL tournaments? I am interested in playing using the advanced convention card. You, or anyone can respond here or e-mail me at John_Swardstrom@hotmail.com
