pooltuna Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, 14? you got the wrong sequence [2,5,8,11,14,17,20,23,26] and against reasonable opps you can stop at 8 and give up on your 1430, 1460, or 2210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 If partner is in the joke, why not? I would not do it, but going in, when they have opened 2C isthe right idea.The only sad thing is, that you have the wrong black suit. It helps as well, if they think you are a solid guy or a solid girl. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdanno Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 The first board had me wondering, the next 2 confirmed my hunch that South had lost all interest in the game. This is from a STAR player in one of my tournaments.There's just no getting away from these idiots. Assuming this player was needing great boards in order to place, I don't see anything outrageous in any of these actions. The 3♣ bid on the first board, for example, is a good bid against many opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to decide what to do from his side of the table, and doesn't want partner in on the secret. Maybe his moves work on occasion, but so what? Let him find someone who will just sit there and let him do his thing. It aint me, and it apparently aint jilly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Agree with Arend. While I wouldn't make any of these bids (in particular I don't like 6♠ even after partner has promised 5-6 in the black suits) I don't think that 3♣ is anywhere near as bad as some posters seem to think. This is from a STAR player in one of my tournaments.There's just no getting away from these idiots.Charming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilkaz Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hand 1) 3♣ vulnerable on that rubbish doesn't preempt enough and may get tagged for 1100 when there's no slam. It is a silly bid vs opps with brain waves. Even without methods opener can just rebid his suit at the 3 level or X if balanced or take a shot at 3nt with a couple stoppers. Hand 2) I'd have splintered 4♦ with pard's hand. His jump to 6♠ after using 4sf is too optimistic.. why not probe a bit more ? Hand 3) Hmm... he must think that aces count 5 hcp. Do these people buy these stars at Wal Mart ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_20686 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I heard that anyone who represented their country at junior level in beijing was eligible for a star. I'm not sure if this is true, but if i am eligible for one, they clearly arent exclusive enough for me to want one. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
