dogsbreath Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 I dont care at all for 'experts' who lodge appeals on hands of this type. 4S was top so presumably 4S-1 was bottom .. would they appeal against their own top?In my humble opinion this is as close to cheating as you can get .. trying to intimidate 'weaker' opponents when you get a poor result.Rgds Dog :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 What phsyc about it ? if someone bid 2c with this its because he believe that this hand is good enough for 2c. I wouldnt bid 2c here but thats anouther story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 There's a reason for this question I asked. About 10 days ago locally a friend of mine had this hand: AKJTx AKxxx x xx For fear of being passed (understand this person is an intermediate, still learning) opened 2♣. They ended up at 4♠ making for a top board. The opponents, who were both "experts" cried foul and wanted to appeal the board. Don't know what came out of it, but with this and the B/I member giving nearly identical hands, started me thinking. a mistake is not pysc and they can appeal as much as they want i would consider taking their money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I cannot count more than 4 losers on that hand, I supose that means I have 9 tricks. Opening 2♣ with that hand is simply ridicoulous, as with any 2 suiter a lovelly rebid after 4/5 level bid comes back to you, what´s the problem of opening natural?. Is it legal?, Know very little about rules, but if you expect to punnish players for playing badly even when getting a good result after it, nomal players will expect to find a better game to play. Agree with Flame, did they appeal for opponents finding the best contract after what they consider a psich bid?, lol, say thanks and think of them while you spend their money with friends. Only possible alternative is when the oppener´s are know for their suspicious methods (I mean people think they cheat) and may be considered experts.
