I'm an old duffer, just starting up playing again. The last I heard about was Goren. Things seem to have changed. One partner I had asked me where I was from I thought. He said Texas? and I said no New Mexico. My answer fell on deaf ears. There seem to be a whole bunch of systems I don't know, and never heard of. I tried to look up the topic of Transfer bidding and so far it's been incomprehensible. Be that as it may, I thought I could play by saying that I didn't do anything but blackwood. I still find that I irritate some partners to the max and I hate doing that. What verbage can I use in my profile to effectively communicate that I only do what I call regular bidding - no transfer, weak strong, 2's or what ever? Then what site can I go to that would start to explain some of the systems so that I might come up to speed. I tried listing my self as a beginner, and that irritated some and now list myself as intermediate and that of course irritates some. So how can I stop making people mad? And of course, when I make a stupid mistake, I see that it irritates some more than it would me, but that's the way of life. So where can I start reading up on these subjects? Thanks LouMai
