Try your play at 6NT

[JLOGIC]

You're right, clearly I don't have a clue. Nor do any of the people who supported many of the things I had to say. And I didn't say I don't have a clue about squeezes. I said that I explicitly was leaving squeezes out.

 

 

I mean, man it's like discussing a chess game and you're like well I don't know what a fork is but this is the right line and here are my calculations and you MUST do this and blah blah AND BY THE WAY E4 as an opening sucks for sure you cannot play it!

 

If you don't understand squeezes then you cannot analyze this hand. I am not trying to be mean. Maybe squeezes are rare to you but when you have 32 HCP and no fit in 6N that has to be the most common time for them to come up. You could attempt to analyze and and ask where you went wrong, but when you are assigning percentages to things, you are implying some degree of certainty in what you're doing, or else it's pointless. Again, the problem I have is not really you criticizing my posting or posting style, its more that you say very very non standard things like they are factual which is gonna hijack the thread, and you criticize me for not analyzing the hand thoroughly but when you try to you butcher it and then say "well I ignored squeezes on purpose." Hopefully if you read the part of my post where I actually talked about the various squeezes they are very important to the hand. I mean, you wouldn't try to analyze a hand and then say "but I don't know finesses so I ignored them." It is not possible.

Maybe that is not an earth shattering post, and I am guessing I got repped because of the rhm joke combined with being right that that is the way to start the hand, but it I do not see why you're so offended by that post lol.

 

It got my upvote because your post was almost verbatim what I had decided my line would be (I left out the word 'type'). Nothing earth-shattering, but I was amused.

Highlow, bro i am very sorry about your girlfriend and the things u are going thru. I mean it.

 

CGibson knew there was something wrong, or you wouldnt care why someone got upvoted, or why he chosed to make a joke instead of educative explenation etc etc..

 

Imo you are a great person, so is Justin. When u started here rough at the beginning,if you paid attention he was one of those who gave you a slack and didnt join the bash train. Unfortunately you called him out, and called him out on the wrong subject. I mean he earned poster of the year by people's votes for a reason and this reason was not the jokes he made thru the years. He has more educative, informative posts than anyone else. I am not even gonna get into his talent and real life success.

 

I assume (i maybe wrong) he didnt see your post about your girlfriend, or even after u call him out, he might have let you get away with it. But if u stick here with us, i can assure you he will be one of your favourite people.

 

Eventhough i hate your long posts, i really like you and want you to survive here m8. I dont know how old are you but if you are not as old as most of us here, you have a future in this game. Because obviously u love this game and u need experience and a good mentor. He is the man u need. Seriously. Unless u have ***** loads of $$$ and can hire pros at his level, you can learn most things from him for free in these forums. Or you can drop him a msg and ask something in his blog he will do his best to explain, he does it for the people that he doesnt even know.

 

EDIT: So sorry that i posted this one here, now that i see u made a totally different topic for this in "general" section.
