  2. Clee is always up at that time, maybe he could do it if Paul cannot.
  3. Who cares since we're gonna whoop you in round 5 obv ;)
  4. After making the switch to atheism, I assumed I would always be one. But having grown older and wiser, I have seen the light. Joss Whedon is god.
  5. haha. Obviously you bid when they overcall 3H, what kind of question is that? Play partner for some values when they preempt, he can still have a pretty good hand to pass 3H and playing him for about 6 points is not a stretch. Also he may have some heart help, RHO hasn't raised and LHO usually has 7 so we can often either double stop hearts or shut LHO out etc etc. If we were w/r I would consider passing sometimes I guess, but w/r is really its own game when it comes to stuff like this. Likewise, almost always pass (or double with a doubleton heart depending on hand) when it goes 1H p 3H. LHO can have a good hand now, and partner's max point count is quite low, especially when he has short hearts (which we know he does if we have 3 hearts). Playing him to average 6 points when he has a stiff heart and passed 1H is silly since he would have bid unless specifically 3163 or something... he is probably closer to 3 points, and we have no chance of shutting the opps our (5-4 fit). Bidding 3N here is suicide. Obviously if you have a good source of tricks and a double stopper you can make an exception but it would be quite rare. 2H p 3H is the only one where I would use some judgement based on the quality of my hand and especially my heart stopper (for instance with Axx of hearts I would always bid 3N). I would bid much more often than I would pass though for sure, partner can pass 2H with a pretty reasonable hand and LHO has advertised a weak hand. Edit: I also consider it completely standard to pass with 18-19 balanced on the auction 1C (1H) p (2H) ? lol at bidding after 1C (1H) p (3H)
  6. 655321 will play it better than you :( Oh, partner is declaring, well presumably someone of 655321s ability will have a better partner than you then! Also I didn't think you disagreed with me since the specified vul was VUL, and you said pass at MP 3N at imps which is the same as me! But damn you and your children if you bid white at imps!
