shevek Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Who has either used BBO data or done a complicated double-dummy simul to address this? Bridge teachers would appreciate some facts. Such as "If partner opens 20-21 2NT, should I bid game with a balanced 4-count?" A crude way would be to generate hands that conform, imput them into DMPRO, run Deep Finesse and look at the outcomes. A single dummy analyser (like Jack?) would be better.How tricky would it be to include shapely hands & shortage points, location of honours, etc? Sounds lie a huge job, worth being paid to do.

TylerE Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Gut feeling no... Balanced 20 counts tend to underwhelm when you have no entires to dummy. But game in a suit is a definite possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirate22 Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 agree an anaylsis,may turn up something,but one considers teams/imps/matchpoints- "You pays your MONEY,andyou make your choice"double headed coin:)with 4 points and any 5 card minor i bid 3n/t no 5 carder-i pass regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 It seems to me that double-dummy analysis would be particularly misleading on this type of deal. When entries are scarce you have to guess what to use them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdmunro Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I did a limited simulation of this type of situation some time ago:http://forums.bridgebase.com/index.php?showtopic=752&hl= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
