H_KARLUK Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 1♦ 2♣ DBL (NEG) PASS? [hv=d=s&v=e&s=sj4haq9d97642ckqt]133|100|Scoring: MP[/hv] Would you really join th party or let others play for tops and bottoms ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Don't understand "th" (sic), question unless you mean "Would I pass?" The answer to this is of course, "No". 2NT for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 2nt if it shows 11-13 balanced, club stoppers and denies a 4 card major or 6 card d suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 2nt also for me. Bergen's book recommends against 2nt with a dead min, but I am not rebidding this type of ♦ suit. Can't stomach a pass even at MP vs red opps, and don't care for 2♥ when 2NT seems a better description of my hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm ok with either 2♦ or 2NT, though personal preference is 2NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OleBerg Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Pass is to much of a gamble, especially as I'd much better like my opponents to lead into a tenace rather than partner. If 2NT is an option, then that is my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanoi5 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Not signing the petition but only 'cause he congratulated me on my birthday and I might be going to Turkey. I don't want any surprise there... Also, on topic, I didn't even think of 2NT so I voted for 2♥ which isn't that bad anyway, I think.

skjaeran Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Not 2NT for me. Close between the reds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 I really don't like 2N...if partner has a minimum, say, 4=4=3=2, where on earth are our tricks coming from? LHO will certainly have entries and rates to hold 6 clubs, so 2N looks very wrong... I choose 2♦ since I want to slow this auction down..... 2♥ will fetch a raise on fewer values than would be needed to invite after a 2♦ rebid.... since partner will assume we have a fit and a 10 trick game may be in sight. 2♦ 100, 2♥ 80 2N 50 P 10 (since I am being generous) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_KARLUK Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I really like 2♦. http://www.petitiononline.com/thwut/petition.html I don't see this monkey business give up any time soon. As I said before, some guys are able to get it, some guys don't. 'Th" or "da", country or "kuntry", can or "kin", what or "wut"; what do you or "wuddaya", rules or "rulz", "damn" or "dammit". Indeed I may print anything, anytime I find suitable. I don't think they are " i n s u l t s ". The real matter is I think those guys are only in need of dire attention. Sad to say, I nearly lost my hope they are here to discuss "ideas" about Bridge game. Most probably they live a hallucination that joshing all around is a harmless must and committed each other as "just in case solution makers". Suddenly I remembered 'Sleep babe sleep, while daddy watches th sheep'. It seems "pride" word does not exist in all dictionaries. I do not comment and even browse their posts. Unfortunately seems not same for them. I graduated college when most of they were not born, so i do not need any grammar lesson of a foreign lingo ! Frankly speakin' I do not care their habits and culture. Feel free to mistreat any foreigner you see. I got bored to see 'potential bi polar" cases. Noone can stop your hands. Unfortunately BBO forums has not an option to block unwanted people. Keep going on "demonization". You may be satisfied thinking a 'scape goat' there but sorry it's not me.

You might know this one : "If a man's conscious is easy noone can rattle him". Have a safe trip please. I am willing to be helpful in case you wish to play nice bridge tournaments. I am pretty sure you are always welcomed in a very friendly way there. All my best.Hamdi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcD Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 2♦ lead directing :) 2NT takes too much space and shows some extra in my book . For all I know , partner's plan may be to rebid 2♥ or 2♠ and I will be happy to pass (I assume we do not play NFB) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 .... I think the petition was pretty respectful. I don't think it implied in any way that you do not know what the correct forms are or that you are insulting us. You may indeed print anything you want and we can ask you (respectfully) to change your ways of ortography. We asked you not to use these forms because it is a little annoying and it has the potential of extending or getting worse. Indeed, if people find something annoying and not speak up, that would be dishonest. But all of this is in the text, unlike the insults (insults like "monkey business" or ad hominems like guessing for our reasons for posting etc) you appear to have perceived.

I saw your photo. You have some great success about Math. Maybe you allow me to congratulate you heartily. Well done. Very good work. I hope in future days you can find a chance to ask about my personality to a famous bridge player in your country. He is DAN ZARA. Lives in Bucarest. We did online partnership with him on OKBridge. Never lived any small confliction. But sad to say i smell a few teasing at your posts whenever i start a topic. That's th point I am exactly against it. Sorry; Hamdi is always against GLOATING and SARCASM ! Tell me anything politely and "if" I ignore then you are free to assign th blame. Debates would not gain to any side to catch good ideas for GAME. I would prefer to read technical comments. As I said we agree or disagree. It is really no big deal in my mind. Say I am wrong I will learn a new thing. So it's a gain. And the story of "th". It was just a simple typo at start. But when i got harsh reactions .. I think no need to tell rest. We know and aware of everything. Still I belive it's just a simple "emotional reaction" to attack my posts. I dont think when just a simple "e" letter dropped shatters the world. Or when I use "korner" instead of "corner". I cannot imagine they are insults. Are they ? To me amongst at least 500 forum members some people - not more than 10- like to attitude in an ARROGANT way. I see it's unreal. Bcos in real life I am welcomed with maximum politeness. I know what means to be young. If th matter is to feel BEST no need. Dead wrong. We donated our times and funds for TURKEY JUNIORS to reach world champions in their category. We never asked any payback. The sole and first condition was simple : FOLLOW ETHICS! You represent a nation. You have no right to debate! You know my country players caught a nice trend in last 3 years in. So we are Ok with polite and humble company. You may disagree about my words. My fair offer is let's stay away by our posts. I never showed any negative trait whenever you started a topic. Good luck and I wish more bright success in science if that's really your way. GOD BLESS. ps. I am a good guy. You may not believe. Np. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not live any small conflict. Nobody is arrogant. Instead polite and humble.Otoh I admit my grammar is bad. I like to use a bit slang. Imo it shouldn't count as 'insult'. I mean as direct or indirect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H_KARLUK Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I know today I am a bit talkative. Let me amend what I expect when I start a topic : Hey Hamdi. It is not a good topic. The TECHNICAL reasons are maybe you think again about it : etc etc I assure I am OK with such CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. What I am against it : DO! WE ARE PARAMOUNTS CLAN! Huh? I am not a vicious guy. I am here to exchange bridge ideas but not to debate about personal conflicts unless i am touched harshly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 They are not insults. I never said they were. I said clearly that I thought they weren't. It's just that 6 people asked you to try to avoid them. So it was a typo, but then it started being funny? It amuses you to annoy other people? English is your 2nd 'lingo'. It's my 2nd 'lingo' also. I make lots of mistakes. But I try to use it correctly, and I'd never use flawed language just to annoy people especially if they asked me explicitly to stop. Thank you for your wishes etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
