Need a Precision partner

[precijun80]

Hello, my name is Adrian, I am sixteen years old and I am looking for a regular partner to play on BBO who plays Precision.

I haven't been playing for long but I would say I am at about an intermediate level.

Summary of my convention card:

 

Precision, 2/1=GF, 14-16NT, Oslo Raises, 1H relay, 2NT opener=5-5 in minors, Upside-Down attitude count, 4th suit=GF, 2way New Minor Forcing, weak 2s, DONT Defense to strong NT, Cappelletti to weak, Inverted Minor Raises, 4suit transfers.

Hey Adrian, I would be interested in playing. It would help if you put down what times you are available. I don't have any problems with what you posted other than Oslo Raises (I can play them, but dislike them). I sent you an e-mail as well as on BBO. Thanks.

 

-Chase

 

Oh yeah, for anyone else who responds to this post, Oslo Raises = Reverse Bergen

[precijun80]

Hello Chase, thanks for your reply.

I am mostly available during the evenings (I live in Monterey County, CA so whatever time zone that is).

So like 7:00PM - 10:00PM would be good times.

Yeah I play Oslo Raises with my current partner but I am open to any alternatives, I love learning new conventions.

I didn't get an email from you but I got your message on BBO.

My email is adrian.r.murillo@gmail.com

Hi I am also learning precision, the most original version by Goren and C.C.Wei, with 13-15NT and so on. Maybe we can discuss the difference in different precision systems sometime. Add me:iverson200 Thanks!

[2200]

Hello Adrian,

I used to play precision based upon Wei's system with some self add-on. I'm interested in playing with young ambitious fellows. Drop me a note at lifemonster@hotmail.com

 

Thanks

I play various forms of precision with different bbo partners. Would be nice if we could get some activity into the precision club.

[slayerbill]

I'm always available to play nearly any form of Precision. I also play several different Big Club systems. Especially if they are Canape!

[pottsca]

Four of us (one with experience) are just starting to learn Precision. We'd be interested in any practices. We're intermediate-to-advanced. Please add me to any mailing list you're creating.

Hello Please add me in the club...sona78

Arian I live in San Jose . I would love to practice with you

[Amidamin]

Hello all,

 

I'm french. I learnt Precision approx. 40 years ago ! (Kathie Wei's system) Practiced it during 10 or 15 years but, as I had not enough partners to play it constantly, I used to play SAYC (Major 5th) 80 % of the time. Then I stopped playing bridge during 15 years.

I played again 2,5 years ago when I found Online bridge sites. I found 2 or 3 partners with whom I could play Precision according to my abilities and fondness.

 

If someone is ready to play Precision with me, please send me a message on BBO.

 

Thanks.

I am interested in finding others who enjoy playing precision. weak nt (10-12 NV) 14-16 (V); transfers over 1C openers; 2NT openers for the minors; heart relay and the rest of the pieces that make the big club system.

[wtslr]

I am also playing precision. With 11-15 1NT(4th always 12-15, nvul 3rd can be 10-15 or xx.xx.AKQxxx.xxx) Small Roman 2D(11-15HCP any5440/5530/6430/7330) 2NT minors and Moscito-style Relay(Use Pre-RKC-Ask and Spiral-Scan)

Hope you add me to the club:) Sailer White

Hi Precision players,

 

I'm interested in joining to learn more about Precision and have an interesting hand for you to convince me to do so.

 

As dealer, you have J, AKQJ975, AK87, A and your partner has AKT86, 86, 42, T642.

 

Q1 -- How would 7H be reached confidently with Precision, without opposition bidding?

 

Q2 -- I've heard Precision is vulnerable to intervention. If your LHO intervened with 2S after your 1C, how would the bidding proceed?

 

Thanks for your input!

I would love to play with you. Prefer 1NT = 13-15 (or 10-13). Don't like Oslo or 1!H relay but willing to play it. Rest in your card I have played. Look me up when I am online. Is your BBO user name Adrian? Mine is scsm1963. I usually prefer MatchPoint Precision otherwise any precision and any conventions attached :)

It probably wouldn't be confidently reached as with most precision players the responder is a negative that makes the bidding more awkward.

 

1♣-1♦ (16+;0-7)

2♥-2nt (2c opener in hearts;good hand, bad fit)

3♥-4♥ (really good suit;sure)

4♠-4nt (1430 kickback;1 or 4)

5♦-5♠ (all the keys and the Q, which K?;K of spade)

6♦-6♥? (I already know every point in your hand, but I want a grand if you have more help in diamonds; you might be looking for a stiff [same hand with the ♦K switched for the ♣K, so I sign-off in 6)

 

If you make the ♣T the ♣J then I find it with confidence playing transfer oriented symmetric relay positives:

 

1♣-1♥ (16+;8+ [at least an A or 2 K] w/ 4+ spades)

1♠-2♦ (tell me more; 4+ clubs with 5+ spades)

2♥-3♣ (tell me more; even shortness, 5=2=2=4)

3♦-3♠ (how many controls; 3, either some A and some K or 3 K)

7♥ (I can count to 13)

 

actually jumping to 7♥ is wrong since I should hunt for a working Q to see if 7nt makes so over 3♠ I should bid

4♣-4♦ (where are they?; 0 or 2 of the top spades)

4♥-4♠ (where?; 0 or 2 of the top clubs)

4nt-5♣ (where?; 0 or 2 of the top hearts)

5♦-5♥ (where?; 0 or 2 of the top diamonds)

5♠-5nt (where?; no spade Q)

7♥ (I have to give up here as I can't get around to the diamond Q in time)

 

If the LHO overcalls 2♠ there are a few different auctions imaginable most ending in 6♥ but I can also imagine:

 

1♣(2♠)P(P)

X All pass

 

And, maybe, on a great day we reach 7 with something like:

1♣(2♠)P(P)

4♥-4♠ (great hand with great hearts;1430)

4nt-5♣ (1 or 4; we have the keys, do you have trump Q?)

5♦-6♣ (yes, and dK; what about second round C? - implying spade K given trap pass and no spade ask)

6♦-7♥ (yes, have second round C, but need third round diamond help?; alright, 7 it is)

 

Or

 

1♣(2♠)P(P)

3♠-3nt

4♥

 

and the same follow on.

[MartyD24]

Hello Precision Fellows,

 

i am interested in practising Precision with you, so just leave me a message on bbo to discuss further details.

if anybody is interested in playing with me, just contact me: MartyD24

 

Greetings

Martin

[jmcw]

I like precision don't play it much (no serious precision partner)

1♣ = 17+ or 15/16 balanced

1♦ = 12/16 4+♦

1♥♠ = 10/16 5+

1NT = 12/14

2♣ = 11/16 5+

2♦ = 11/15 mini roman

etc

 

Transfer responses / 1♣

2/1 style over ♥♠

 

Anyone wanting to play this let me know.

[BebopKid]

I am interested in learning Precision.

[srtor]

I am interested to practice, However I am new to precision. Please reply or become friend with me in BBO. Thank you in anticipation.

I would make a positive response with an ace and a king both in long suits or both in the same long suit.

[shafi241]

I want to learn precision. Like Oliver Clark system. Need a serious partner to play precision.

 

My skill level is Intermediate.

 

At present, I play 2/1, Sayc mostly.

 

Thanks,

I've played Precision since the 70's with one partner. It's work, but fun. Unfortunately for me, I seldom get a chance to play more than once a month. I stick to MOST, but not all, of the Berkowitz Manley book, "Precision Today".

 

Some of the more sucessful juniors playing some form of Precision are Adam Kaplan, Owen Lien, Matt Mecksroth.

I learned Precision from "Precision Today"

It's a good book.
