Hanoi5 Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 Hey! You guys are 5th in the WWBC. I've always wondered why isn't this tournament more popular... Cost maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jlall Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 FIRST IN USA... lol I was tilted because I messed up one hand at the end but we were really far out of 2nd and even farther out of first so it didn't matter. There is another one today, goin for the 75 obv :( edit: I will say it's pretty fun to play a session where you're shooting for 75. My general MP style is very much to go for Ave+ when playing with good players, so it's fun to just go all out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted June 5, 2010 Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 It was also the first 70% game I've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjbrr Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 w/w MPs obv Axx K9x AQxx AQx. (P) P (1♠) ? Hidden: I bid 1NT because our agreement is 15-18 and I thought this hand is pretty close to 18. It continues (p) 2♦ (p) ? Anything besides 2♥? How do you rate 1NT? What would you bid if you double instead of 1NT and partner bids 2♥? I guess 2NT?

Siegmund Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 Well, you guys beat me both sessions (both of mine at 59 or 60.) Anything in particular you did differently from normal / places you disagree strongly with the advice in the booklet that you'd like to share? On the posted overcall hand: 1NT looks like a pretty serious underbid. 19 with two AQs behind the opening bidder, which makes you worth more like 20 or 20 1/2, when you know partner will expect the bottom end of the 15-18? Double then NT for me. If it's the hand I think it is, 3rd seat opened 2S at my table, and everywhere else in the world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbrr Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 You think a 3343 hand with Axx in their suit is worth more than the 19 you have? I didn't even have good spots... I could easily be convinced my bid was an underbid, but that I should think this hand is worth more than face value is a bit much to me. Sometimes partner has only one entry and all the honors in our 5-3 fit are offside! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted June 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I bid 2NT over 2♦ (Multi) with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I don't like 1NT because I will sometimes wrongside NT with it, it looks like a normal 19 count to me, Axx in their suit is a + for double, not a -. We are comparing this hand with other balanced 19 counts with spade stops, not other 19 counts. Surely this hand makes game more likely than KJx Kxx AQxx AQx or KTx KJx AQxx AQxx, this is because we have good support for hearts. The fact that you are apparently thinking of superaccepting with a 4333 hand shows why 1NT was maybe not a good choice. Well I guess it's not the only hand we should be talking about, of course sometimes 2NT will be too high and other cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Kid Posted June 6, 2010 Report Share Posted June 6, 2010 I wouldn't bid 1NT with that hand, too much positional strength for those AQ tenaces after the opening bid. Even the ♠A and K♥ rate to be worth their full potential after the opening bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodney26 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 w/w MPs obv Axx K9x AQxx AQx. (P) P (1♠) ?

What would you bid if you double instead of 1NT and partner bids 2♥? I guess 2NT? I got 2S on my right and then was faced with the same bid one level higher from partner. Still not sure how I should have handled this one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fluffy Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I love 1NT and I'd bid 3♥ not 2NT, I wanna be able to reach partner's hand as much as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
