Rain Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Hi hi Dec 22, 3pm EST, most BBO yellows will be playing in a 14 board MP Indiv (1 board per round). Come kibitz and join the fun! How? Predict who will be 1st - 5th for a chance at some fabulous (okay, little) gifts. So to join, just reply to this thread, and post in this format by Dec 21st 2009 23:59pm EST (NY time). 1st: (Enter your pick)2nd: (Enter our pick)3rd: (Enter your pick)4th: (Enter your pick)5th: (Enter your pick)BBO Lobby news article on the contest:http://webutil.bridgebase.com/v2/news_fetch.php?id=188 http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tRE...viG_oWPVg&gid=0This google spreadsheet should list your pick, as posted in this thread. If it doesn't, or if you'd edited your picks and post, please try to inform any yellow so the spreadsheet can be updated. Since Forum account name is likely to be your BBO name, that's what we'll assume your BBO name is unless you state otherwise in your post. Not terribly important unless you win and we need to try to give you a prize. --------------------This isn't the first year this tourney has been held, so it's starting to be a tradition. To help you with your prediction, Ben (Inquiry on BBO) used BridgeBrowser (talk to sfbp for info on this) software to figure out the results of the previous, more casual tourneys.

This doesn't mean they will play of course, just that they've signed up, so it's likely they will play. This part will be updated as things change.

Jlall Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I'll go with a sleeper pick: Uday. Uday is not well known for being a very good player because he is much more well known for his work with BBO, but he is definitely very strong and could easily win this (sure fred is better but the edge is smaller than people would think, and uday will play high variance going all out for the win in the end whereas tbh I think fred wouldn't care that much, and would be concerned about not ruining his partner's possibly good games). If just betting on a win rather than a high finish, this might even give uday the edge over fred. Ofc there are many other world class yellows, I won't mention them all but I will say I used to play quite a bit on BBO with ritong and he is legit a great player, and even better for an indy! Old fashioned bidding combined with not dropping tricks and giving clear signals. Best way to play an indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtvesuvius Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 (edited) Wow, some tough choices here, but I think overall Henri (Ritong) is my best bet. My top 5: 1. Ritong2. Fred3. Uday4. Reisig5. Gerben EDITED (Roland won't be playing.) some others came close, but I'll try this =) Edited December 15, 2009 by mtvesuvius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuroth Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I cheated and read jlall's post, because I didn't know who to pick for #4. 1. dkgrab2. uday3. fred4. ritong5. reisig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I will be away (in London playing bridge!), so those of you have me on your list now get the chance to pick someone else. Would have been nice to take part, but ... Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
