pdmunro Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Overheard at the bridge table (names altered) mles opens 1C with ♠ 10 8 7 4 ♥ 10 9 4 ♦ Q 8 3 2 ♣ A K The opponents (both from Turkey) reach 4H. They are set 1 trick: a common result. After the play, the dummy (noz) starts a conversation with mles and j21 : *************start*************************noz: do u play forcing pass opps?j21: noj21: pass is 0-9j21: do you want a cc?noz: what does it mean on 1. position, opening with 9 hcp and 2 card cl ????mles: balancedj21: 10 or a good 9noz: with 9 hcp???noz: pls alert this or 8j21: a good 9noz: or good 7j21: or two acesnoz: or 1 ace 1 kingnoz: doesnt matterj21: or an ace a king and a queennoz: or 2 jackmles: noj21: nonoz: or nil***********************end*************** Best chuckle I have had in ages. Does this conversation have any relevance to the forum on minimal opening bids? http://forums.bridgebase.com/ind...?showtopic=5631 Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebound Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 So, pass with 9 or bid with 9, or maybe 8. Interesting. Bunch o crap if you ask me. People who bid like that irritate me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flame Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I dont understand this, why didnt you alert the opening ?If you play an opening can show a balanced 9 hcp you should alert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
