I’ve never seen patterns in toast?! Does this mean I’m not human :(

Hi all, Had a sequence we hadn't had come up yet, and was wondering what is the best way to think about it... White on red at MP's, opponent deals and opens: (1♣) - 1♠ - (2♥) - 3♣ (Inv+ spade raise)/ (3♠) - X How should this X be interpreted? If it matters, 2♥ was non-forcing an 3♠ was undiscussed. Also would it matter if the ♠ raise was more or less offensive? Perhaps 2NT showing a 4-card raise? Thanks!

I lost to broze by -21 http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:a5fb66d6.ba6c.11e6.b596.0cc47a39aeb4-1480888648&u=elwood913 I've played the match against el meister

Hi, I read the news on the Tweak to BBO's Play and Watch Bridge area. I looked over and noticed that mine had not changed, Casual is still on top. I closed my webpage and opened it again, still the same. I haven't tried to do anything with my cache or cookies or anything like that, just logged out once or twice, closed and reopened the webpage, still get the un-tweaked area with "Casual" on top of "Competitive" and "Solitaire" below. Just posting to point this out. (I'm not sure I'm in the correct forum, feel free to move as necessary...)

Yes: Result of 3rd set is 14-20 for dadim, I'll happily withdraw, resign, concede; congrats to dadim http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:0344a154.a976.11e6.8e99.0cc47a39aeb4-1479023500&u=elwood913

elwood913 0 - dadim 37 2nd set http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:1390f269.a8f5.11e6.8e99.0cc47a39aeb4-1478968123&u=elwood913

dadim has broken his resolve and begun playing. I've given him some encouragement to continue, by spotting him a 43 IMP lead... 2nd set challenge has been sent, and I've messaged him... http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:0f6666de.a832.11e6.8e99.0cc47a39aeb4-1478884364&u=elwood913

New challenge sent. I'm relatively free this weekend, so if he chooses to play I should be able to play the match quickly.

I sent dadim a challenge Wednesday morning, and I've repeatedly messaged him. He won't accept. It seems he's holding true to his decision not to play. Please advise me what I should do.

As I said, sorry for the delay. I don't know if you know, but we just had an election over here - I've been trying to save the free world from Donald Trump. I failed, I guess you can hold that against me - but in the bridge world, I've issued you a challenge and I'm waiting for you to accept.

Sorry for the delay, challenge issued. I'll pick up the pace.

Elwood913 +39 vs Shyams Two big swing boards, 6NT making vs 7NT-1 and an unfortunate 3NT-6 for Shyams where I took a dim view of my 13-point misfit hand opposite p's opener and stopped in 3Clubs making. http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:b08a6eba.9f9e.11e6.8e99.0cc47a39aeb4-1477941459&u=elwood913

Elwood913 lost to dadim by 21 (27-48) I thought I was getting crushed, but finished strong... In fact, we were tied going into the last 3 boards where I lost 21 IMPs. <sigh> http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/tview.php?t=ARDCHALLENGE:a2174c8a.9e1e.11e6.8e99.0cc47a39aeb4-1477776508&u=elwood913

MP's, 2/1, none vul. You deal and hold: [hv=pc=n&n=s94ht4dkj76caqj95]133|100[/hv] Do you open? If so, What do you open? and, What do you rebid over 1M response? If it's close, what small change would suggest a different action?

I'd like to play :)
