PFormaini Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 You sure love to insult the bridge abilities of those who mock you. Why don't we level the playing field and let you tell us about your best bridge accomplishments. You know, other than changing the original hand in a thread after finding out your argument about it was wrong, stealing hands from books, using multiple handles on bbo forums. Keep it to bridge playing accomplishments please. Thank you. jdonn: Perhaps you missed the title of this Form. "Interesting Bridge Hands". I'd be happy to explain the meanings of those words - since apparently multi-syllabic words give you trouble. :D And I don't recall seeing your dudgeon displayed on any of the other 100 or so threads regarding hands from books/magazines/puzzle sources. So - perhaps you should concentrate more of your time on improving your limited bridge skills and less on acting like a prepubescent grade school student? :) I know it will be a challenge - but then, most here seen able to rise to the occasion.

jdonn Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 So that means no notable bridge accomplishments then? Side question. What did your last post have to do with interesting bridge hands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I still don't understand. If you take 9 tricks in 3NT, your opps will take 4 tricks, right?If I take 8 tricks (because my bridge playing ability is inferior), my opps take 5. so the swing is 14 because from you taking 9 tricks it went to my opps taking 5 tricks?but what if your opps said "well we took 4 but gwnn took 8", does that make it 12 tricks? please answer this because I don't understand. by all means insult me but could you do it in a different paragraph than the insults?

PFormaini Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 So that means no notable bridge accomplishments then? Side question. What did your last post have to do with interesting bridge hands? "Side question. What did your last post have to do with interesting bridge hands? " Ya got me. Perhaps one of the 300+ people who examined the problem might answer that one. Nigel? You here? :D But then, he and most of the others probably tried to answer the question - something that required thought and effort - two things you apparently have a minimal supply of, seeing as how rarely they appear here. :) <<scans back threads for some sign of puzzle-solving ability. Finds none.>> But you definitely have that 'Second-Rate Bridge Player Certainty" thing down pat. If only you spent half as much time actually engaged in bridge study.

jdonn Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 There you go insulting my bridge abilities again while being unwilling to put yours out for inspection. Now that just seems unfair. It doesn't leave me with any adequate retort unless I want to seem like some jerk who just insults people in ways that can't be backed up. Once we get past that you can show me who these many others that tried to answer the question other than Nigel are. Because my poor prepubescent eyes can't find a single one!

I need to make an accusation that would force you to reveal your bridge abilities in order to defend yourself. You stink at bridge. Go!

Most of the pictures you posted originated in http://icanhascheezburger.com/. It's the home of cuteness. It has a lot of associated blogs. Anyway, this posting from cheezburger is very common in my knitting forums. It's funny to see it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenge him to a match either against set teams or in the money games with the bots located here on BBO for some reasonable amount. By all means publish the time of the event so witnesses are clearly available. From what I have seen GL and get rich :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige1 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 [hv=d=e&v=b&n=sq764hj75dk73c962&w=s852hk93d10642cqj4&e=sj10h10864da85ck1087&s=sak93haq2dqj9ca53]399|300|Scoring: IMPSouth opens 2NT. North raises to 3NT.West leads the ♦2 If you Defend, specify all your key plays.If you Declare, state your line of play.[/hv]Answer hidden: East has to duck AD as otherwise there is no entry to the long club and declarer can just concede a heart, ducking clubs twice if necessary.If declarer now plays a heart, defence just play on clubs and there is no ninth trick without losing to AD and defence have five winners. If declarer plays a second diamond at trick two East wins and defenders lead clubs twice then a third diamond, leaving West with a good diamond when he wins KH.Cashing spades doesn't appear to create any pressure as they can afford heart discards. So I vote defence.The people who complained about the diamond lead can instead choose a heart and let it make if they want. Good problem, clever solution, in spite of all the cattiness :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
