Something needs to be done about pairs with no cc. Seems like half the time opponents do not have a cc.

holding a 5-5-2-1 hand or any hand with 2 5 card suits and 18+ pts what is the difference in opening the lower suit and reversing in the higher suit and opening in the higher suit and jumping in lower suit?

North's hand[hv=pc=n&s=shdc&n=skq9743hqdakj97cj]133|200[/hv]

[hv=pc=n&s=sajt862hj97d62ckq&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1sp2n]133|200[/hv] Is South's hand good enough for Jacoby Or should he just bid 4♠ OR is there another bid that should be considered? Thank you

♣[hv=pc=n&s=sk52hkqj65d953ca6&n=saq76ht8daj74ck85&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1dp1hd1sp2cdpp2sppp]266|200|2 clubs was intented to be 4th suit game force. West doubled with 5 pts 4 spades and 5 clubs[/hv] Was there a better bid than south's 2♣ And can North pass the 2♠ bid. if not how should bidding go to reach 3NT? 2 spades made 5 as would 3NT make 5. Thank you

[hv=d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1dp1sp3n]133|100|What is 3 NT.[/hv] I was told to be believe that it showed about 20pts with a void or singleton in ♠ Comments

Played in virtual club game . Was 1st receiving 1.00 BBO pts Live for Clubs said we earned 1.50 Black pts Does this mean we received a total of 2.50 pts or is our total pts just the 1.50

[hv=pc=n&s=s9752hkq932d743c2&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1c1s]133|200[/hv] I do not have enough points to neg Double and not enough to over call 2♥. I guess I must pass. ALL CORRECT? Must I wait and see if I can bid later? Under what circumstance could I later bid? Thank you

I play a lot of SPEEDBALL. Use to be able to look at results thru history right after playing the 12 hands. Lately have not been able to get result of individual hand till several hours later or next day. HELP

The last 2 days I have not been able to access HISTORY of previous game and i am playing in the speedball games never had problem previously 3 years of playing speedball

How does one contact director after round is over in speedball games? Esp last round BD# 10-12

Exactly where should dummy place card after declarer calls for card? Is it enough to just slide card away from others OR as I believe should that card be placed on top of other played cards in front of dummy. Too often it is hard to tell which card has been played when dummy just moves the card from others esp if card remains close to other cards. Thank you

When opponents overcall 1 NT we play all bids are transfers. Is there a name for this convention? Example[hv=pc=n&s=sqjt752h53d65cqt9&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1d1n2h]133|200[/hv]

Partner and I play Mini Roman 4-4-4-1 or 4-4-5-0 10-12 pts always having 4 Spades We are having a disagreement on 2NT asking for shortness. She prefers bidding the suit where shortness exist and I prefer using submarine approach where one bids suit under shortness. Opinions and comments welcome

bidding 1NT-P-1Spade -P Now what? 1NT bidder said Transfer [really a relay] Called director and director saw no problem and said to continue bidding. My problem is that unautherized info occured , did 1Spade bidder mean to bid 2S or did he not see 1NT bid? Now 1NT bidder bid 2C and 1S bidder bid 2D which was passed out.

[hv=d=w&v=0&b=8&a=1dp1h2c2np]133|100[/hv] Does 2NT show 18-19 pts [i belive it should] or is it less # pts? Thank you

[hv=d=e&v=0&b=14&a=3cd5cdp]133|100[/hv] South now doubles his partners double Now what? #1 I believe there are lead penalites #2 If East is hurt by South inability to make a comperable bid then is adjusted score in the books? Thank you

[hv=pc=n&w=sk8765hk852d5c762&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=pp1s]133|200[/hv] Is 1 psyche or an illegal bid? ACBL Thank you

My Question is WHY WAS I REMOVED? I know that host is only one who knows answer however can someone help explain. There was nothing unusable about either BD THank You

Playing Walsh if West bids 1♦ East will bid 1NT. Now what? Maybe it is best if West bids 2♣ [inverted minors] Opinions please[hv=pc=n&w=sk6hjdakq942ckj72&e=st82hakq7d875ca53&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=1cp]266|200[/hv]

Playing michaels cue bids I know that with 16+ you can Michaels and bid. Also with 12 - 15 you bid your suits. What is the desired minimum? Is 6 pts enough if pts in your suits? Should you have tricks on defense? 1 or 2? Thank you

It was much easier to view hands just played in the old format. I am talking about when playing in a SPEEDBALL event and immediately wishing to review what transpired. It is just very complicated now. If one waits and goes in thru recent tournments it works OK however it seems it take forever to be able to do. Must be a quicker way Also can something be done about SLOW PLAY in the SPEEDBALL EVENTS Thank you

Partner opens a weak 2. What is the better way to play a new suit forcing or not forcing and why? Is there a difference if opening bid is 2♦ or 2♥ or 2♠. And what about a 3 level pre empt? Opinions please. Thank you
