PhilKing Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I used to get angry after a massive losing run at poker as well. And as a passed hand I play 3♥ as a fit non jump, but the great Segal would have given me a bollocking if I did it on AT9xx. Oh crap, this is a lead problem!

JLOGIC Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 This forum 5 years ago certainly had a Robson segal bias and I still think the Brits do. Anyways many threads did revolve around for non jumps lol. I will still admit I thin it s ridiculous when you pass that you cannot bid a suit later in man y cases but to each their own. As far as nostalgia On every forum I think regs tend to think of years before as a much better time but I do think that this forum has gotten better about answering problems in the context they are given rather than side tracking with their pet method. As for me I guess I'm somewhat better at not calling people yards but I think of all my flame wars the one with ken was my favorite local. !h ken.

JLOGIC Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I used to get angry after a massive losing run at poker as well. Lol the forums always tilted me more than poker. I still don't know who segal is, is he a top player or more of the writer of Robson's ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilKing Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Lol the forums always tilted me more than poker. I still don't know who segal is, is he a top player or more of the writer of Robson's ideas? He was an incredibly talented but flawed player and he doesn't play any more. He was more of a theorist - they were his ideas, not Robson's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lalldonn Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Surprised this was your favorite flame war. It's good but I can recall a few better. I think this is a tough lead problem. I led a spade then and now I'm really on the fence. I think I'll stick with spade but I'm not confident either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLOGIC Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I meant overall with ken not this thread in particular. Anyways, I'm with you I still have no confidence what is right here good problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
