I think this is only for beginner. Table1 3♥+1 = +170 Table2 4♥-2 = -200 (my table :) )

hi, ty 'mr1303' for your observation, you have absolutely right. I was uninspired with that hand. My bad :(. Just imagine a hand with 8-9HCP and good 6 diamond(5HCP in di), without outside A.

#1 direct 3NT. For the people who bid 2NT (♦ transfer): if part supra-accept transfer? 1NT - 2NT 3♣ - and now? If your part, have problem with a suit .. i am sure, 50%or more, now want ♦ game not 3NT. Bidding 2NT(♦ transfer, give informations at table, don't make that) And .... DO NOT MAKE MINOR TRANSFER WITH ONLY 5 CARDS!! NEVER!! This is a example of hand when to bid ♦ transfer and then 3NT: ♠ Txx ♥ 9x ♦ KQT9xx ♣ Ax #2 you have 10HCP and (7 losers with support: 1♠+1♥+3♦+2♣) .. this is a game. 2♠ - cuebid, shows only ♥ support and initational to game. I don't know if 3♠ is splinter right now. 3♠ is also cuebid with GF hand, other partners take this bid as slam invitation. I like to bid 2♠ and then 4♥ and this is STOP. Second board should be a poll board!! and jocdelevat, you are from romania? Joc de Levata!

Hi, How about 1♦ - 1♠ 2♠* - 3♣!(1) 3♥(2) - 3♠!(3) 4♣!(4) (CRITCAL BID to reach slam) - and now slam finally 6♠ (1) (GF! Artifical bid! Ask part to show cuebids) (2) ♥ cuebid, second or first control in ♥ suit (3) next cuebid, part cannot pas because I bid (3♣! GF, part cannot pass until game is agreed) (4) ♣ cue, first or second control in ♣ suit * i see most of you bid 3♠ - WRONG!!!, this bid shows 17-19HCP. I'll wait other opinion of my bidding auction. cya on bbo!

hi, i vote for 3♥.

hi, first of all 2♣ oppening is wrong, of course this hand has 9 triks.. but if you look again at system in front of 2♣ oppening is that: 2♣ = 23+HCP any distribution or 17+HCP and 9+winner triks, i am right? with this hand i open with 4♠!

Hi, Done! (i hope ;) ) Regards, Adi Bichea [bIL member]

I vote for 3♦! 17-19HCP .. part could pas if part continue with: 3♥, now i bid 3NT 3♠, now i bid 4♣ to show 5x♣ 3NT, GLP

Hi, I am Adi (adibichea) BIL member, hope to resolve this problem. 1. W hand, aprox. distribution .. the points are correct ♠Kx ♥Axxx ♦Axx ♣xxxx 11HCP, that shows DBL E hand, aprox distribution and points ♠xxx ♥xxx ♦x ♣AQxxxx 6HCP, showd in 3rd round. If E have 7♣'s with 6HCP, i am sure he bid 3♣ or even more. 2. after 3rd round, i play a small ♠ to J to test if ♠distribution is 2-3 or 3-2. if distribution is 4-1 or 1-4 i have no chance to make the contract. And i can't make the contract if ♣ is 5-5 even if trump are 3-2. Supose trump stay 3-2 or 2-3, and ♣ 4-6, or whateva, but not 5-5 After i win with J♠, i play a small ♦ to K to promote my ♦, now only losers is 1♠, 1♦ and 1♥. I don't play trump from my hand. exception: ruff. If W win with A♦ and play another ♣ (final club) I ruff it, and now play the ♦ to QJ of dummy hand (or finesse if E have void in ♦) ... and play diamond's to force E or W to ruff(final opposite trump). If E ruff the ♦, he play ♣ .. now ruff club and play another ♦ or ♥. and now the contract is done. I am thinking correctly? Regards, AdiBichea .. and intermediate player.

Hi, 1NT - (p) - 2♥ - (p) 2♠ - (p) - P - (3♣) P - (p) - 3♦ - (p) 3♠ - (p) - 4♠ it's clear, part has 3x♠, why? i like to belive, no one oppen NT with 2 doubletons .. with this distribution 2♠ - x♥ - 2♦ - x♣ so if my part have 3♦ is better to pass in fit 4-3, not to bid 3♠ in fit 5-2. I am right or not? then i bid 4♠, i have ♣Ax a nice color, ♥ doubleton, but bad ♦ ... so if i look again at the hand i pressume my part could lose 1 trick in each color, but where's my part. points?
