mr1303 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Hi all Here are the hands, courtesy of Whereagles. As usual, there's a standard system, and scoring is based on the matchpoints that were likely to result. If there is no auction present you are the dealer. 1 [hv=pc=n&s=saqj763hk653d654c&d=s&v=e&b=3&a=1sp1np]133|200[/hv] 2 [hv=pc=n&s=st64haj43da65caj4&d=n&v=n&b=5&a=p1sppdp]133|200[/hv] 3 [hv=pc=n&s=sk95hq6dk5cq95432&d=w&v=0&b=8&a=p1d2s]133|200[/hv] 4 [hv=pc=n&s=sakj6h98d83cj9642&d=s&v=0&b=11&a=p1d1sd3sppdp4hpp]133|200[/hv] 5 [hv=pc=n&s=sakj9hj9765da53c5&d=e&v=0&b=14&a=1h]133|200[/hv] 6 [hv=pc=n&s=sq965hat752da5c94&d=e&v=e&b=6&a=p]133|200[/hv] 7 [hv=pc=n&s=sq9hj62djt87cakt5]133|100[/hv] 8 [hv=pc=n&s=sahk92dj9865ckt72&d=w&v=b&b=4&a=4sppp]133|200[/hv] This last one is a lead problem. PM me your answers. PM your complaints to whereagles :) Regards Mark 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Mark - Do you want answers or comments too? The position on the last one isn't right. Either we are North or we aren't on lead against 4♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Comments are welcome, but probably won't influence the scoring. Good point on the last one. I just wrote them out as Whereagles sent them to me. Whereagles, can you advise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 On #3 it would be nice to know if we play some gadgets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mohitz Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I don't understand the point of having #6 and #7. Whether to open these hands or not are clearly a partnership style thing. Sometimes, an opening will work and sometimes pass would be better. Why should what happened in only one deal have any effect on the score?

whereagles Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 First of all thanks to Mark for taking the time to put up this poll. Second, on the final board your RHO opened 4♠ and all passed. Since we'll be South on all hands, perhaps opener can be moved to East. Third, it is perhaps better for Mark if you send him the bids only. Open a separate thread if you want to discuss this or that hand in particular, as we did with previous polls. As usual, discussion is most welcome, so you're encouraged to do that. Fourth, in #3 you're playing BBO standard with whatever gadgets the system allows. I think that means no negative free bids, Gonzalo :P Finally, I'll put up a message in the main forum advertising this poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Anyway who votes with abstain (or anything less polite) will automatically get zero plus a procedural penalty of 10% of their score for not making a legal bid... If you want to say that you would do something different, comment on the hand thread when they are posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Mark, thanks for assembling the answers. It is a thankless job. I didn't abstain on any answers, but I was tempted to on one :P Curious to see how I stack up. Perhaps more curious to see how the scores are assigned and who is doing the scoring. When does the poll end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Perhaps I've missed something, but I don't think there's any indication of the vulnerability on 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 gnasher: #7 is none vulnerable and the question is whether you open the hand or not. Phil: I did the scoring and sent Mark the MPs he should award to each choice. As I said, it is based on what I think is likely to have happened at table, had you made that choice. As it is, it is based purely on my judgement, but I accept if someone else wants to join me (non voter) to discuss matters together. Ben? :) By the way, Mark: if someone makes a bid not in the scorecard I gave you, PM me and I'll try and give you a score. As to closing date, let's run it until the end of the month.

han Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I didn't abstain on any answers, but I was tempted to on one :P I abstained twice. I realize that I won't win many MPs for abstaining but from a discussion viewpoint it seemed like the right thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Answers sent, kinda nice set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I abstained twice. I realize that I won't win many MPs for abstaining but from a discussion viewpoint it seemed like the right thing to do. Number 2 and? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtvesuvius Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Number 2 and?4 I would assume :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Are we already discussing the hands? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanoi5 Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 4 I would assume :) I thought so too, but wasn't sure. Are we already discussing the hands? :P We're discussing your discussion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Whereageles, do you want to wait to compile answers or immediately start a discussion thread for each hand? I assume neither will begin until 2/1/11, but its your party :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 I abstained twice. I realize that I won't win many MPs for abstaining but from a discussion viewpoint it seemed like the right thing to do.likewise and I didn't even realize there would be a penalty but even if I had I would have abstained. Sometimes I really don't like the previous call :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooltuna Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 4 I would assume :) those were mine as well :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Feel free to start discussing stuff whenever you want. Perhaps a separate thread for each hand is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 I've noticed some people abstained because they didn't like previous bids. We can do the following: message Mark with what you'd have bid previously and I'll try and analyze/score it case-by-case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Points don't matter Nuno, let's talk about bridge! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 What the hell is going on on boards 2 and 4? Djeez :P I've noticed some people abstained because they didn't like previous bids. We can do the following: message Mark with what you'd have bid previously and I'll try and analyze/score it case-by-case.I'm afraid we'd have lots of discussions about the analysis...

whereagles Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 You'll always have lots of discussion :) Board 2 I can understand some would've doubled the round before. Board 4 I don't see the problem :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
