Say it goes: [hv=d=n&v=e&b=9&a=pp1hpp1sdp2dp2h]133|100[/hv] What would doubling and then 2♥ show? What about jumping to 3♥ over 1♠? What would you bid with: [hv=pc=n&s=sq872hakqt63dqcaq]133|100[/hv]

[hv=pc=n&s=skq983hdq862c8764&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=p1hp1sp3hp?]133|200[/hv] MP's. 2/1.

Try to practice on every hand you play. Read about these kind of hands. Make exercises/problems with this theme. There's not an easy recipe/formula. You have to practice hard.

[hv=pc=n&s=skqhqt64dackqj732&w=sj743hk92djt8765c&n=s865haj53dq4ca985&e=sat92h87dk932ct64&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=1cp1h1n(Spades%20and%20Diamonds)2h2s4np5hppp]399|300[/hv] West led the diamond 5 to the 4, (Reluctant)K and Ace. South decided to give a chance to the defence (not knowingly of course) by playing a small heart to the ace and another heart to the T and King. West returned the spade 3 to the 5, A and Q. East returned... another spade. Who's to blame?

W vs R in MP's I'd try it. But knowing it's not gonna be normal. At all.

I find it amazing that Fishbein still exists. It's like someone playing Cobra. I blame 100% West unless there is an agreement about the pass or jump we don't know about.

If you read the spoiler on the op you'll get the diamond position. Which should shed some light on the club position (Besides the clue from the lack of unusual 2NT from West).

Then she played ♦A and another which went to the 9, 10 and a small heart from me . I was thinking of finessing the hearts but from the lead and continuation I supposed West held the Heart Queen, so I played the ♥K and a small ♥ towards the table glad to see the ♥Q with West on the second round and hearts breaking 2-2. Time to tackle spades so I'll give you the wheel...

So, what would you bid as advancer with: ♠Axxxxx ♥KJx ♦x ♣Qxx or: ♠Axxxxx ♥x ♦Kxx ♣Txx

[hv=pc=n&w=skqj6ha85dajt64c7&d=s&v=b&b=7&a=1cd1h4sp?]133|200[/hv] MP's. Do you agree with the first action? What do you bid at this point? What do you expect partner to have? Would your answer to the last question change at a diferent vulnerability?

I think I prefer to bid 2♠ ahead of partner. It should show at least 6 cards and a non-minimum hand. Over his 2NT I'd bid 3♦.

A couple of years ago I ran a topic asking posters what they'd bid with three cards in each of partner's suits, one of them headed by an honour, the other headed by small cards. I was very surprised most chose to bid the best looking suit which I thought (and still think a little) was not 'correct'. I see your reason is to leave space for partner's future bidding but I think it's more important to envision the play.

Really? Is partner more likely to bid clubs with 9xx instead of diamonds with AQx? Most people prefer to bid their best suit when given a choice between two of the same length...

I think 5♣>4NT

East held: ♠T7 ♥T74 ♦8642 ♣JT53

I'm sure Bob Hamman loves that one...

Imp pairs, we're red, they're white: (1♥)-Pa-(1♠)-X (2♣)-Pa-(2♠)-Pa (2N)-Pa-(Pa)-X [hv=d=n&v=e&b=9&a=1hp1sd(Minors%20with%20HCP%27s%20or%20Balanced%20NT%20hand%2015+)2cp2sp2nppd]133|100[/hv] You play sandwich NT, so the double shows the minors with more HCP's than Distribution (1NT would show the opposite) or rarely the NT hand. What would you take that final double as in such a context?

[hv=pc=n&w=st642haj952da84ca&d=w&v=e&b=16&a=1hp1sp?]133|200[/hv] Imp pairs.

So, where do you find: - Appeals-committee booklets with a global index of key-words . - Flow-chart/expert-system to help ensure that all relevant and only relevant laws/regulations are considered.

Can someone explain this sentence to me as if I were a 6-year-old boy?

[hv=pc=n&s=s752hdt8532cqt865&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=p1hp2np3sp4np5sp7hppp]133|200[/hv] So, what do you lead and why? And, what's that rule about 20" that can be taken at any moment when using scrrens, a so-called 'New-Zealand' Rule?

Both red, imp pairs, you hold: ♠Q ♥AT432 ♦AJ73 ♣A98 [hv=d=w&v=b&b=4&a=pp1hp2h2s?]133|100[/hv]

Why didn't Sementa and Duboin play in the Final?
