P0STM0RTEM Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hello, I play under the moniker p0stm0rtem (with zero's for o's) and have also been looking for partners that integrate a great number of conventions and new concepts into the 2/1 framework. In addition, I'm also located in the South Bay SF Area. I'm a big fan of Pattaya bridge's 'Definitive Guide to 1NT 'auctions - particularly their stayman and transfer sequence extensions (SARS, ASID, Quest). I however can't see to find anyone else willing to play them with me. More main stream are ideas within Max Hardy's 'Advanced Bridge for the 21st Century.' Normally I play Odd/Even discards, but believe that I can handle UCDA. I'm an avid reader and here's a list of additional conventions that I haven't been able to practice enough: - Full Reverse Bergen Major Suit Raises (including ambiguous splinters and Swiss) or Combined Bergen Raises- 4-suit xfer super accepts- Modified Two Way (as opposed to New Minor Forcing)- The BART & Meckwell Adjuncts plus the Wolff Sign-off- Walsh Diamond- XYZ- Good/Bad 2NT- Lebensohl or other sohls- Nagy/Kokish 3-way game tries- BROMAD- And I haven't even mentioned doubles like the reassignment of the standard Take Out doubles to Types 1-4 and the adjustment of Michaels with the 'equal level correction' 2-suited overcalls. Please come find me if anyone is interested.-Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tola18 Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Normally I play Odd/Even discards, but believe that I can handle UCDA. Rather OT here, but I cant sustain the remark: I believe carding UDCA and discarding UDCA works better than carding standard and discarding standard.Thus, I can very well understand guys playing standard wants to discard O/E and thinks it is a substantial improvement. But UDCA throughout works just fine. There is simply no need for o/e discards. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
