S showed a great hand with both majors. Passing 2♠ is nuts unless there's UI!

Someone hasn't read Rich Father, Poor Father... I started reading this a few nights ago. It's one of the most poorly written books I've read in a long time, but the message so far seems useful.

The problem with 4NT is it's difficult to play in ♣ which could easily be the right strain.

That's what I would have done

2♣ f1

I'd like to opine that I really like the feature and I'd be curious to learn reasons why you would want to hide it.

1) Partner has defense; this is a penalty double 2) no. 3) I'm pretty happy as it is. Maybe if I had 2 more aces I'd worry about slam being missed

this that

log in to BBO and look at your profile. it tells you now!

6623. Probably not close to most, but maybe worth honorable mention.

I found my own tyvm. It was a tossup between that and http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/2711/bananas3.gif

I'm trying to make this the greatest thread ever. So far no one will suggest a new avatar for me, and no one else will offer words of wisdom. I'll start my own epic thread then, if you insist.

Rather than waste money on binoculars, stand closer to the object you're observing so that you can see it better. A penny saved is a penny earned.

i thought he meant two out of his 3 letters were correct, with the wrong one being a smiley, though the C is somewhat inconsistent if that's the case. awm answered this question correctly. "the art of bidding" needs to be better defined before we can comment on its way.

Suppose two contestants of equal strength, height, and combat experience were to fight, and one was given a bat while the other a knife, who do you think would win?

I think I'm guilty of both in different contexts, but when I claim on a finesse I usually say it as B describes.

agree with shaz!

I suggest not jumping to 4♠ when one of the hands in a GF auction is still unlimited. I would have bid 2♦ on the first one. 2 i would bid 2♥, and 4 i would bid 3♠

I need a new avatar now that vuvuzelas are a distant memory and cats are no longer fashionable.

Aberlour for water cooler mod imo

agree with cascade. i'd pass now. i do like int jump shifts in this spot.

if you have to ask whether pass is forcing or not, then it's not forcing.

Thanks for keeping track of this, Aberlour. Great job! Congrats mich-b!
