flanneryyyyyyy Haha, seriously I don't understand question 2, it just depends on your system. How about "0, I play gazilli." His first question says "In your 2/1 style" so presumably he wants to know what your system is. Ya. 2♣ could be 2 with 4522 and weak hearts. I forgot that one.

double for me.

1. minimum=0, maximum = 10ish 2. 3 3. constructive 4. good club raise

♣2. Everything else seems too dangerous.

Cuebidding 3♠ seems clear. The result was a bit unlucky though.

I don't like them much myself. I can't find much wrong with standard leads.

Easiest vote for gwnn ever. GL! Ship the winnnnnnn

Well. Quickly click through the threads that you consider to be the ones where people get flamed for something stupid while noting which subforum the thread is in. Perhaps if you see a pattern, there might be a moral to the story or some sort of lesson available that should mitigate the appearance of unwarranted bullying. There is a reason for specific subforums, after all. Also, gwnn, was it just an error to leave the squeeze threads out of that or did they not qualify? Edit: I added Ben's stuff above.

I would pass 1 10-14 red opposite a passed hand? Even if that's available, I'll still try 2♣. At least some of their doubles are takeout! You don't have a system where you can show the longest suit in your hand after a 1NT opener? wat?

hope this is unanimous

Hope you dont mind.

I may be totally mistaken, but I believe I recall Hamman being a supporter of BAM KOs being introduced as an NABC event if it were ever seriously considered. Or at least BAM scoring with segments like the team games, though don't quote me. I think it's a good idea myself.

But unlike most jobs thousands, maybe millions, of people don't want to claw your eyes out for missing something that occurs in a fraction of a second.

lol

wow. sports official must be one of the most difficult jobs in the world.

Official Jlall appreciation thread

two thumbs up to that list

easy 2♦

This thread might make the list. It has an all-star cast, everyone doing what they do best. And it's still in its infancy!

Morgan

20 dollar trick + being somewhat inconspicuous about it? Edit: I suppose we're getting into the realm of illegal. Ignore this.

$50 LIIT is robbery imo. Ever seen anyone bring a flask to a restaurant to save $ on drinks by bringing their own?

uh? Pass?

I don't judge anyone who drinks Bombay. I wouldn't turn down some free Sapphire. Agree tanqueray is EZ game though.

Can we all agree that Jose Cuervo is a waste of money, and something cheap like Sauza Blanco is way smoother and tastier? Don Julio is the king of all tequilas, though. Edit: Reiterating. Jose=garbage.
