fwiw partner should respond 2♦(!) to 1♠ 2000th post!

I don't have much to add except that I don't like this 2♥ requires an A or K business. When I have enough to GF, I like to GF and not try to catch up later. I'd rather bid 2♥ rarely and reserve it for hands that actually are garbage, like a Q and a J maximum, since we're already using up so much bidding space as it is. When I was playing in the Red Ribbon pairs years ago, the opponents had some auction that was like 2♣ 2♥ (denying an A or K), 2♠ 6NT or something silly like that because she had 11 in Qs and Js. It seemed like a retarded auction back then, and my opinion about it hasn't changed. I recall seeing threads about responses to 2♣ recently, so I suspect some digging would turn up something useful.

what did mum have to say about you opening with 10 honor count points?

lol?

agree with phil

So. I spent like 5 minutes looking in the cat's fur for an image of a bicycle rider. Spoiler:

A more interesting question is whether or not we will be able to prove it conclusively.

definitely.

did we just get rickrolled by a cat picture?

1NT ldo. i have 15-17 bal.

lol bidding 4♥ with the S hand after a negative double is hopeless beyond words. a beginning bridge player is taught that the north hand has invitational strength opposite a minimum opener. in fact, this hand is closer to just bidding 4♥ than passing 2♥, but 3♥ is good.

3nt

Also, this game is rigged and I demand an investigation into anyone who has a score higher than mine. Clearly they had insider information. Or they knew the future. Or they paid someone off. Or... nevermind.

2 2

no bid

i play retreat to our suit=no, 6 our suit=yes but no kings, 6 anything else=yes Q and also the K in this suit.
