Science goes where religion fears to tread.
BebopKid replied to jtfanclub's topic in The Water Cooler
I'm pretty sure that no religious texts talk about fertilized eggs. Religious people however have their own beliefs that may be based on those texts, which possibly could be interpreted differently. -
Whenever Bill Clinton wanted to go to Hope, they closed off parts of our Interstate Highway from Little Rock to Hope (100 miles away). I think that happened 3 times.

If partner bids 2D, what is your rebid? (people have telling me to have a rebid ready) Will partner expect you to have 8+ points? xxx xxx xx xxxx would be an awful shape for p to have
-
Can the director assign an adjusted score after the bidding but before the play, if he deems the offenders made use of the information?
-
I'd pass, unless I'm playing with Carl. He'd expect me to bid.

My understand of ACBL rules(which may be correct) is that If a partner correctly alerts what is on the pairs' convention card their is no penalty, unless the pair have some way to inform the alerting partner that the bid wasn't the conventional bid, whether by facial expression, speech, or any agreement. If so, the director shall review the pairs convention card, stand behind the alerting partner and ensure that the alerting partner bid according to the card. After the hand is bid and played, the non-offending pair may claim damages. Which the director can determine to give both pairs average, one pair average plus/the other average minus, one pair average plus/the other average, or one pair average/the other average minus. This depends on severity, frequency, etc. If a partner frequently "psyches", as many as once every two sessions, the pair should have that psyche bid on their convention card. I director can rule for example that a "secret" partnership agreement exists if one partner frequently does something that the other partner can expect as an option from the bidding. Examples may include: opening with less than 8 points, opening a balanced 1nt with a singleton. This frequency regulation can end up being ruled as failure to alert, with adjusted scores, and possible suspension on very frequent occurrences. (All of this is from memory, so portions may be incorrect)

What about bidding 3♠ and if partner supports leave it in 4♠, otherwise put it in 5♦?

your partner gave up
BebopKid replied to jim420's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
I voted for 3D, my hand isn't strong enough to force a 3NT and the club bidder is sitting behind me so my Kx is almost worthless. My partner should have at least 4 diamonds with the auction. -

simple suit combo
BebopKid replied to Trumpace's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
Best line for 3: Play the Ace first in case of Queen singleton, then lead toward the Jack. Best line for 4: Play toward the Jack or play the Jack toward the Ace, depending on which opponent's hand you place the Queen. But I like playing toward the Jack. -
I personally hate opening 1NT with a five-card major. But if you do, please play puppet stayman. If your partner had 3 hearts, 3 spades and a void in diamonds, wouldn't you rather have opened 1S

Oops, sorry, I should have looked up the date. But I did say I love it when people don't know what they're talking about. I make myself happy all the time. And Congress doesn't need to go around "reminding" the President what the Constitution says. They need to focus on their duties.
-
I love when people have no idea what they are talking about. How are we supposed to believe these rants when you don't know who said, "We have nothing to fear except fear itself." I'll give you a hint, it was said on December 8, 1941.
-
Umm, this is misinformation. The U.S. President must have authorization from Congress to go to war. The U.S. President has the power to defend the U.S. in emergencies without authorization from Congress. A statement in a funding bill would not change this as the Constitution overrides. I will also remind everyone that Congress authorized the invasion of Iraq, also. This was done to enforce U.N. resolutions that Iraq was not responding to.
-
I'll also add that in the U.S. unlike many other countries, the entire military is volunteer and staffed by brave people willing to stand up and go forth.
-
If Iran starts the aggression or Iran defies U.N. resolutions, then I would support Military Action. I would not support occupation afterwards.
-
I'd look at law of total tricks for our side and pass. I think we could make 1S or 1C.

3♦ always and forever. And never open 2♦ with 7 Diamonds.

What do you lead with 0 HCP?
BebopKid replied to BebopKid's topic in Intermediate and Advanced Bridge Discussion
Here is the full deal for the hand I played. We set the contract, but I couldn't figure out why anyone would make it. The heart lead looked too obvious for me. [hv=d=e&v=b&n=shakqj73d873cq532&w=sj92h852dakqj652c&e=sakq874ht94dcakj9&s=st653h6dt94ct8764]399|300|Scoring: IMP 1S P 2D P 2S P 4S ALL PASS[/hv] Club lead and West throws Hearts, Diamond lead and East throws Hearts. And as you can see on the Heart lead, South gets to throw Diamonds. -
If your LHO opens 2♥ (weak), and your partner overcalls 3♥, what should 3♥ mean in SAYC and 2/1? Is it Michaels or something else?
