the hog Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 "because like the hog we have a perverted sense of justice and a righteous mission to punish all bad bridge"Josh(?), I can honestly say that I have never played with a partner who is such an idiot as this one. Hence if pd bid 4S, it would be to play. Not that such nonsense would ever happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromageGB Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 I don't see it as bad bridge, and even if you do view it that way I don't think it entitles you to flagrantly ignore the agreement you have that 4♠ in this sequence is kickback.

gnasher Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Could you please explain why partner "deserves" to get a bad score just because you don't like how he bid his hand? I usually think people have to be rude or offensive to deserve negative outcomes, not simply play what I consider bad bridge.I think that bad bridge deserves a bad score, and people who're rude or offensive deserve to have no friends. Both of these seem to happen, though not as reliably as one might wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manudude03 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Maybe partner is a bean counter and has x KQJxxxx KT9x x :). My gut tells me that this is semi-natural and he is 7-3 in the majors, and bidding 4S first time to make it harder for the opponents to find a 5C bid.

Trinidad Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Read my post. It CANNOT BE KB IN THIS SEQUENCE UNLESS YOU ARE PLAYING WITH AN IDIOT!The guy just scored +1000 (despite the fact that partner misunderstood him!) where he was entitled to -100. I guess he doesn't mind if someone far away shouts that he is an idiot. I find that this guy is remarkably similar to Mollo's Hideous Hog. Maybe the hog should read a couple of Mollo books to appreciate this style of bridge. Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 "I find that this guy is remarkably similar to Mollo's Hideous Hog."More like Walter the Walrus. The Hog could play bridge; this guy should take up tiddlywinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
