first of all thanks for being lenient! actually ya, i've played bridge since 9 years old, but ya i didn't learn how to bid till 2003 when i went online on bbo. i knew gameplay, but didnt know any bidding systems besides goren or bangkok club. thats what i learned from what i used to play with my parents as a kid. i still opted not to go to bridge clubs, but i have also quit playing online, though sparsely. i prefer kitchen bridge more than anything. my favorite systems are 2/1, and AUC. AUC stands for "an unassuming club", basically multiple club or small club system. I prefer AUC more than 2/1. I also love the weak nt a lot because its an obstructive bid. AUC is played mostly in Eastern Europe, in countries like Germany and Russia. I have a sad note to tell, I get a strange feeling that people are gonna stop playing 2/1 in the US and play other systems, a red flag here, but you should be able to tell from my site. I got introduced to MOSC back in 2006, and was told to make up my own MOSCITO system to viral it thru the world. So i did my best, my only issue is i treated 1c responses like 2c forcing.. i know i guess im just naughty besides being stupid... But i have little experience with moscito, except ive learned not to use pointed suits in situations. Then the fact i dont use any signaling either except hi-low and odd/even. (you never want to give out a wrong signal in bridge..) if you think you could give me ideas to better this system then feel welcome, cause i could use any advices i could get. my only thought? is that id like it as simple as possible. thanks, Fiz

k, (hiya) i've learned to play bridge as early as 9. but until about a week ago, i did not know how to bid properly, but otherwise my gameplay is very good. in fact, i've learned more about bridge in the past week than the 13 years of bridge ive played on and off. i've learned the sayc bidding system, and now im very good at it. maybe thinking about taking up 2/1. but, what my question is? what are all the differences between all the different bidding systems? what are the advantages and disadvantages? example: sayc system is most emphasized on major suits, mainly because you make more points that way. my old system: way i learned bridge when i grew up: level 1 bids were 5+ suit with 13-19 pts, level 2 bids were 20+ pts (strong 2's), and 1nt was standard nt 15-17 pts, (yes i knew about weak & strong nts as well but didnt use them) there wasn't really anything in it that i knew off, like stayman or jacoby transfers or cuebids or anything. if you bid something, you actually had those cards was there a name for this very basic & OLD bridge system? ive been thinking about taking up wj 2000/polish club, what the advantages of that over sayc? is there other systems better than sayc? ~fiz

Hey any of you guys have a website on WJ 2000 Polish bidding system?
