Gerben42 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 It's simply called suction. The tough version is called "psycho suction", you should try google for that! Greetings from Erlangen :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elianna Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 It's simply called suction. The tough version is called "psycho suction", you should try google for that! Greetings from Erlangen :) There's also inverted psycho suction, which I suspect is only played because people like the name. Psycho suction is better to play. Another part of suction that has not been mentioned is NT= pointies or rounds. (Is this standard in suction?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 In Norway this convention is called Yeslek both as a defence vs strong 1/2♣ and vs 1NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
