Is game-forcing with 2 exceptions even with opposition bidding after 2/1 1) If you stop and double opponents 2) No good fit is found and side lacks stoppers for 3N may end up in 4 minor rarely

bboskill will always be dead it used up way too much bbo resources when it was calculating ratings

points smoints if opp have a couple voids or singletons or a long side suit your points will dissappear

As opposed to Standard American which is ill defined. Hideous Hog, "but I know Standard American and what better reason could I have for playing Precision?"

Is allowed. acbl GCC so you know where to go next time you have gcc question. under disallowed "CONVENTIONAL RESPONSES, REBIDS AND A CONVENTIONAL DEFENSE TO AN OPPONENT'S CONVENTIONAL DEFENSE after natural no trump opening bids or overcalls with a lower limit of fewer than 10 HCP or with a range of greater than 5 HCP" so 11-15 ok but anything wider you can play but aren't allowed conventions like Stayman and transfers

News flash: Helene right - Gib wrong. Person using KC is Captain. Gib has no concept of Captaincy.

If partner has outside ace and KQ♣ you have nine top If partner has outside King or worse you either have 5 top losers in the majors or on a ♦ lead or possibly switch for -1

The only advantage to 1430 over is when ♥ is trump, responder has 1KC and you need to find out about Q♥. Playing 1430 responder has bid 5♣ you bid 5♦ to ask about Q. Playing 3014 responder bids 5♦ and you cant ask for Q. I think Kantar in his book suggests playing 3014 if the weaker hand is asking, but that's just asking for a mix-up.

You could give a plus 1 to the reply. Near bottom right in green.

Gib does not understand the concept of lead directing bids. Plus it doesn't understand it's a good idea, even if bid and rebid, to lead your partner's suit especially at NT.

Is a Precision 1♠ opening max 15 hcp. Not liking my chances, will wait for 4♥.

Sequences like that are why 2/1 is better. Not perfect just better.

your misreading it there is a period end of sentence. so must be GF. Additionally cant be part of a relay system. (even if GF)

As Blackshoe said 2♣ needs to be GF if you want it to be artificial in ACBLland under GCC. ACBL in its infinite wisdom doesn't allow Drury type bids after 1st/2nd seat opening.

robot doesn't handle 65 hands well bids 6 card suit then often doesn't even bid the 5-card suit cause suddenly chickens out and thinks it doesn't have enough to reverse. At least Gib bid second once. but it should keep going yes.

Also, It means when opp come in and opener doubles they are 20+ (or 21+/22+ depending on your 2NT range) and you may be able to collect a serious penalty.

other option if your VERY BRAVE LOL 1N=15-17 2N=18-19 will be hard to double but going down can still be a disaster

Your off AK♥so keycard won't tell you if your off 2 cashing ♥. With a human I would bid 3♣ and start cuebidding. This is a waste of time with GIB as they won't cuebid K♥ only A♥. If your lucky they will take over and keycard. Good luck trying a scientific auction with GIB.

Anyone know if A or K asks for unblock for Meckwell. could simply be unblocking.

If your main concern is taking 16-19 balanced out of 1♣ one possible solution: 1N=15-17, 2♦=18-19 bal Mexican and 2N=20-21 The only thing you give up is your 1♦=0+♦ as your opening 4414, 4315, 3415, 4405. People have done this not me, so I can't say how it works out.

1♥- if passed out you probably haven't missed game. Also, remember even if partner has 2♥ there is still a 32% chance for trump loser. If partner has 0-1 trump you have sure losers. AKQxxx isn't solid.

Yes, I am aware of this. But Revision found a way to show 5-card majors and other ways to show 44441 or 4M5m longer. This was a major point in Revision and he just removed it. I wondered why? after 1♣-1♦-1♥ your playing your 2/1 GF system adjusted for pts. but 1♠ is 4♠ weak NF and 2♠ is GF Also over 1♣-1♦-1♠ you use 2/1 GF system I think it is a major point to Revision not to be thrown out lightly.

I don't understand why 4 card majors that have longer minor are included in 1♣-1♦-1M Revision's idea is to basically use your standard 2/1 GF system at this point which I think is brilliant and a major point to the system. Allowing 4-card majors defeats the whole purpose. You have 2 ways in Revision to show 4M5+m: Ive omitted + from below 1♣:1♦-1N (♣)-bid-2M = 4M5♣ 1♣:1♦-2♣ (♦)-bid-2M = 4M5♦ big hands 1♣-1♦-3M=4M5♦ GF 1♣-1♦-3♣=GF now 3♦ asks for 4M Additionally if a real minimum you can just show the minor. And if you use Kokish 2♥ your can use 1♣-1♦-2♦ for 4441 hands. Now you guarantee 5M after 1♣-1♦-1M

The Original Revision by Montgomery used a 1N range of 16-18 and 2N 19-20 Now good 15s were included in 1N, so 1D/1M if balanced were 12- an indifferent 15 which is more manageable. I think some balanced 12 hcp hands are even passed but I wouldn't go that far lol. Good 18's were upgraded to 2N, this is kinda brave. But also bad 19's could be downgraded to 1N.
