We play 2-way-reverse Drury after a third hand opener (frequently agressive) so we can stop at the 2-level. We play Jordan 2NT, too, but why in this situation? We play this convention cause we want to avoid the 3-level, right? I am a fan of "Drury is on in competition"... :)

Hi there, 4♥ shows 6+ ♥..., but GIB holds 6♠5♥1♦1♣... ;) http://tinyurl.com/nzhfam7

No double & ♣ lead. Worst case scenario QJ offside. Otherwise a good declarer may find an endplay in ♥. East can be very strong with 5431 & 20-21 hcp's....

+1 upgrade for ♦-quality?, like it...

Hey there, (I am a little late) :) over two years ago I have created a Full Disclosure CoCa for our Precision System. A lack of fun has stopped me to finish it -> A great many of asking bids and asking bid responses over 1♣ :lol: I have read a few posts about "Full Disclosure" here and have following question: Will there be a "Full Disclosure" tool for our beloved BBO webversion, too? To your question: I strongly believe it is just a software-problem (= Bugs) between both BBO versions. There are no specific rules. We often played with Full Disclosure and opponents were complaining frequently, that they did not see any alert. A few weeks ago I have played a "normal" tourney with a robot and some opps were complaining too -> "2♣ over 1NT was not alerted" I think it's remarkable that these opps were using the old BBO version (win program). (I have asked them) Sometimes it seemed that our Full Disclosure CoCa has not worked. (We did not see any alert too, we both used web version) Our non-proved hypothesis was: To many people online! :D I am using the webversion since I have started to play Bridge and the old version just for creating a FD CoCa. lg bussy

Hi there, another amusing hand (played with basic robot): http://tinyurl.com/b9xpaws 1..., 2..., 3....

Hey, what would you bid? Description of 4♥ by robot was: 4+ C; 4+ D; 6+ H; 11+ HCP; 11- total points (3 lies included) [hv=pc=n&s=skt63h53dkq8ckqt7&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=pp1cp1h1s1np2cpp2s3dpp3s4hp]133|200[/hv]

Sorry, my fault. West did not hold 10 of ♣. North did. So East cant discard all his ♥-losers on ♣.

Dumb bots on a lesson table. 4♠ is better but not perfect. But without any convention really hard to bid a slam here... so, "No offence", Robots! ;)

Hi! Marital crisis. Mr. Roboter (East) is not happy about Mrs. Roboter's (West) bid! :ph34r: http://tinyurl.com/7thbo8g Same problem with just 6-card ♠ & game going values, no other 4-card to force. By the way, how do you solve this problem with your real pd? Regards Bussy ;)

Hi! Tx for your answers. Here is the deal from our club tourney. There is just one killing lead... but can you really find it? I don't know why, but West never have shown his ♥'s. I usually dont like trump leads, here I have chosen a useless trump lead. Is there a scientific way to find the killing lead? Or it is just luck? Regards Bussy [hv=pc=n&s=st96hkt85dq964c98&w=sk42hq742da2ckqjt&n=s5h6dkjt87ca76543&e=saqj873haj93d53c2&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=1sp2c(nat.%2011+)p2hp4s4n(minors)p5d5s(%3F)ppp]399|300[/hv]

Hi there, Your hand (South): ♠ 1096 ♥ K1085 ♦ Q964 ♣ 98 Bidding goes (East=Dealer / non-vul vs. vul.): 1 ♠ - Pass - 2 ♣ - Pass 2 ♥ - Pass - 4 ♠ - 4 NT Pass - 5 ♦ - 5 ♠ - Pass Pass - Pass Which card do you lead? 2 ♣ = natural/ 11+ 4 NT = minors

That is the point! Yesterday I've doubled first & bidden 3♦ over 2♠. My partner (with a nice 14 HCP hand / also King of ♠) tried 3NT... - doubled/ -2. "I thought you had 10/11 points p..." I like your Lebensohl-like sequence...

Oh sorry, right. I have reversed the order. ♠ A2 ♥ QJ87 ♦ 10752 ♣ 1098 Question 2) Bidding goes: East - South - West - North Pass - Pass - Pass - 1♦ 1♠ - (????) - 2♠ - Pass Pass - ??

Dealer: East / MPs / All white Pd (North) opens 1♦ in 4th Seat. Op (East) bids 1♠. What is your bid with: ♣ 1098 ♦ 10752 ♥ QJ87 ♠ A2 What is your 2nd bid after West raises to 2♠ and Pd passes?

Great! Thanks! I have been a bit naive. Thinking Safari would update Flash automatically. ;)

Version 5.1.1 Have still the same problem. (OS X Lion, all software-updates installed)

Hi, I wanted to watch vugraph, but: My link :huh: Same problem on two other events..., "English Premier League" event was working fine! I was using Chrome (same problem with Safari) and have tried to restart, no change. There is an another annoying problem while using Safari: My cursor-arrow disappears every time if I navigate into chat space. So I needed a new browser for BBO, Chrome usually works fine. Have somebody the same problem? Regards Bussy

There was a misunderstanding maybe. I did not, I wanted to lie cause I was just interested in Robot's re-bid. I did not find any adequate re-bid for a 21-22 Total Points, 6+ ♠ (unbalanced) hand after Pd's "Forcing NT "and apparently Robot did not find any bid, too. (Georgi explained it) All in all it was a funny and not senseless research. :) Regards Bussy

Hey, ignore my bid pls here. This was not the point, but the re-bid. :) (My hand would have been look different) My personal original question was: "What is the best rebid for a 21-22 Total Points (6+ Spades) Hand after a 1NT response, so I have tested it on a training table, cause 2/1-GIB-CoCa says: 3♠: 17-20 Total Points, 6+ ♠.... 4♠: ?? Total Points, 7+♠..., but 15- HCP

I asked him if he is French but unfortunately he does not answer me! :blink: (German cousin) ;)

Hi there, two very interesting bids of my Robot-Pd here: No.1: No.2: Regards Bussy
