Finch Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Never give a lesson unless you are asked.Here, you were asked, so you answer.After that answer from your LHO, just move on the next board. You can't say anything useful now without either lying or sounding unpleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S2000magic Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Never give a lesson unless you are asked.Such good advice! There are a few players I know who would benefit from heeding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I think you handled the situation exactly correctly: you gave a direct, truthful and instructive answer to the specific question you were asked (I hate the "tell a white lie" suggestions), and then you refrained from making the smart-ass continuation that some of us would have made. If RHO is sufficiently interested in learning, he may look at the hand (the actual cards, in the actual board, like in the old days) at the end of the session.

barmar Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 The one who asked the question was NOT the one who was supposed to make the lead in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbradley62 Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 The one who asked the question was NOT the one who was supposed to make the lead in question.I understand. If RHO wants to learn, he can look at the hand, having been told what to look at/for. No need to drag LHO into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
