Cyberyeti Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 often people use GOSH when they see me declare even though I did not double and bid a suit. What does that mean?Nobody ever answered this, Good One Suited Hand. Why is partner often referred to as "pd"? Also often Pard and I presume short for that.

GreenMan Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Probably an abbreviation of the Southern pronunciation "Padner" I think it's more accurately spelled "podnah". :) It's most often simply abbereviated "p" as in "wdp", but "p" by itself can be ambiguous, so when the mood strikes we add the other hard consonant in "pard" to clarify.

gwnn Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Nobody ever answered this, Good One Suited Hand. Why is partner often referred to as "pd"? Also often Pard and I presume short for that.It was just a joke. People say gosh because I'm bad at declaring. Pard comes from the Dutch word for horse (paard) because some bridge players have the social skills of one. that was also a joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted June 29, 2013 Report Share Posted June 29, 2013 Pard, P, or pd are more polite than CHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 I think it's from the Wild West pronunciation "pardner", as in "Howdy, pardner". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manudude03 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I don't think I've ever seen EPV on the forums, I've seen +EV and -EV (Positive Expected Value and Negative Expected Value). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32519 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I don't think I've ever seen EPV on the forums, I've seen +EV and -EV (Positive Expected Value and Negative Expected Value).This certainly makes sense. I saw it in this post and wasn't sure what it meant? My experience with these sort of bids at Pairs over a number of years is that Vulnerability is critical. With 5-4 they are +EPV Non-vulnerable & -EPV Vulnerable.This guy doesn't post much, so maybe he hasn't seen the question yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mycroft Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 ah yes, with my standard translations:"glp" = "Gulp!" aka "where's the hand you held in the bidding?""typ" = "typical!" aka "I bid like a master, and partner drops me in the third-rate contract, *again*."I like the gto, hl - except that it has to apply to CHO as well.
