cjames Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 This is an excellent tool already, but would it be possible to make it so that one user can sit in both chairs and bid with himself? This would be excellent when you want to test some system stuff for yourself or whatever, because you can shape the hands according to your need. The only alternative now, is to open a learning table, and redeal until the right hand appears. F.ex imagine that you are learning a new system, and you want to practice the strong 1♣ opening, but your partner ain't online. Then I would be very nice for you to have the alternative to bid with yourself. Or is it only me that would like to have this option?

Gerardo Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 you can have the hands prepared in a .LIN file, load it in the movie and then send, to have them at a teaching table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tola18 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Or is it only me that would like to have this option? I second this proposal. There are apparently alternatives, theoretically even better ones, but why make something difficult when it can be made simple and intuitive?

ulven Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I like this as well. Now I do printouts and bid on paper but a nice option to have on BBO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Yes, this would be a great feature. It surely beats logging on from 2 computers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I agree too ! Nice proposal ! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjames Posted August 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Looks like someone other then me would like this option as well :) Maybe this could be something to look at after BBOTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 you can have the hands prepared in a .LIN file, load it in the movie and then send, to have them at a teaching table. Can you load .lin files to a partnership bidding table? The hand constraints available on BBO are a bit limiting -- it would be nice to be able to generate hands with a program such as DEALER and use those for partnership bidding on BBO.

Yes I do this for almost all of my practice sessions. I've looked in the "table options" but don't see how to load hands. Do you use a teaching table for your bidding practice? Or, is there a way to load hands to a bidding practice table? How? Thanks,Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downagain Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 click on movie, and then there you can load .lin files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 click on movie, and then there you can load .lin files OK, I see how you can send one deal at a time, but it appears that you can also see the deal as you send it. Is there a way to batch send? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a way to batch send? You can load a lin file to the movie window. Unfortunately you can see the hands you load. However in practice this is not a problem. I seem to be able to manage to click on movie, click on the next deal and click send without taking in anything about the hand. It may be not ideal but it is workable.

cjames Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 So is this something that might be made available sometime in the future? :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulie1990 Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Actually, I was going to post exactly the same question but it seems Kristoffer is quicklier :D So I second that (or rather fifth that now). I can add a helping hand, too. At least provisionally, I think it would be more than easy to add a 'DEAL' button to Partnership Bidding Desk. It is possible to bid on your own already, if you ask a friend to sit and vacate the seat again. Hence, you can just change seats after having bid. I believe it is a bug but a very useful one. However, you can't have the cards dealt unless someone helps you. Maybe it would be the final version, too, perhaps there isn't such a big amount of people wanting to have this very tool available. I wonder if this provisional solution couldn't be the part of next BBO version? Personally, I'd be very glad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmc Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I would be willing to pay to use Deal inside of a partnership bidding or teaching table. Maybe it could be set up with a similiar rental program as the gibs? jmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
