wyman Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Yes I think a lot of people would appreciate it if you could post a thread or a google doc with the analyses. Maybe you'll even get a book offer :-)+1. This would be extraordinarily helpful to the whole community. This is an extremely kind offer, and kudos to you for doing it.

Phil Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yes I think a lot of people would appreciate it if you could post a thread or a google doc with the analyses. Maybe you'll even get a book offer :-)+1. This would be extraordinarily helpful to the whole community. This is an extremely kind offer, and kudos to you for doing it. Agree - there are ten very fortunate players here, and the skill level varies a lot, so I expect there will be some variety. I would suggest Justin picks a few of his favorites from the 100, and posts them here - with perhaps leaving the contributor's name off the analysis.

bd71 Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Seems unlikely, but...if any of the Top 10 choose to opt out, I'd love to be on the waiting list as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I was not planning on posting any of the hands. I don't want to make the people involved feel uncomfortable or like their mistakes are on display. Even if I leave out the names, you have a list of 10 people and using myhands it could be easy to figure out who did what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose with BB could dredge them up, but that seems like a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterGill Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Justin, perhaps if any of the lucky ten offer for you to post all or some of their hands on this forum or on your bridge blog, that would be great for those of us who like reading what you write. And well done in San Diego too - two 2nds in major Nationals against the world's best = good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Thx Peter. Yeah I think I will just leave it up to the people if they want to post any/all of their hands + what I said I am totally fine with that. Really I just want to help the 10 who signed up, there is not really anything attached other than that, and it's not a self promotion thing for me. I really don't want people to be nervous or overwhelmed feeling like their mistakes are in the limelight. So, just for the record, I am totally fine if anyone participating in this posts my thoughts, and if you rather wouldn't that is fine, I will not show anyone. Also, Gnasher and others, if hands get posted with my thoughts on them I would be happy for you guys to critique/discuss my comments! Would be kind of cool for me actually. I am obv fallible and might well miss some stuff. Again this is not supposed to be about self promotion/ego boosting for me, or writing a book, or anything like that, and I am happy for it to be discussed if you think I am wrong/have made an error. Will be good for my game! And lol at the thought of 100 hands bid my way! I used to play in teaching tables and bid all 4 hands objectively with what I thought the right sequences were. It was pretty funny to get a taste of my own medicine! Only thing scarier would be 100 hands bid kenrexford style imo :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalm Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 It too late to apply for me but I just want to say that it would be really great if you publish the analysis here in this thread :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Just read the thread, and want to add my appreciation for what Justin is doing....and to encourage some of the 10 to permit Justin to post (with names stripped out). Or post the critique themselves (using another login name created for the purpose if they want to preserve anonymity). This is very generous of Justin.....doing this kind of analysis takes time...altho I suspect Justin is far faster than most, and probably uses the keyboard faster than people of my generation.

JanM Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 I agree that it would be great if some of these hands could be shared - probably most helpful and perhaps least likely to be negative for those whose hands are being analyzed would be if Justin could choose several hands that illustrate a typical kind of error and post them all in one thread.

TimG Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I played a couple of MP speedballs yesterday and would like to select 10 hands from those tourneys (eliminating some hands where I was dummy or the opponents did unusual things to affect the result so that Justin's analysis would not be particularly useful to me -- not cherry picking). Can anyone tell me how to create a file with the 10 selected deals? I played these tourneys using the new web client, so there are no local log files.

Little Kid Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Maybe you can find them here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I can find them just fine, I'm just not sure how to go about saving them to a single file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Kid Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Oh right, sorry I misunderstood. I'm not sure how to compile the 10 .lin files into one big file either. You could just rename 10 .lin files TimG1-10 but I guess your way is better if you figure out how that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I think you can just combine them into one file in a text editor, with one hand on each line. Alternatively, open a command prompt, move to the directory that contains the .lin files, and docopy *.lin combined.linYou'd better test it afterwards.

hrothgar Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Enormously generous offer. (Wish I had noticed this thread earlier on) Let me know if you ever decided to fire up round two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y66 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 re: posting hands played on BBO -- you can open the hand from myhands in "movie" format and paste the URL into a text file. Or you can paste it here using the http:// button, for example: Hand 1 Hand 2 Edit 1: Whoops -- that worked in preview mode, but not when posted. Sorry. Edit 2: Works now after routing movie URL through tinyurl.com. Perhaps there's a bug in the forum software's <http://> feature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 I've got a text file, thanks in part to Wayne Burrows's LinConverter. Justin, let me know where to send it. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomSac Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 4 people have sent me their hands, I've only done 2 of them so far :) Will get to the other 2 ASAP, I think Carol has been waiting for a few weeks (sorry!). I have moved and played many regionals and have to practice for the nationals etc recently, but it will get done! Thanks for patience. TBH I have 2 regionals in a row and then I'm going to LA, but living in Dallas gives me a lot more time as I work at a desk job instead of at the bridge club and I don't actually do anything there. Apologize for being so busy, I haven't forgotten! Also to the 6 who haven't sent me their hands, feel free to do so any time. I am not planning on posting any of the hands, if the people who got my comments want to it's totally up to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
