How to get run over by a mack truck

[gszes]

Double finesse, simple squeeze, reverse, 4th suit forcing to game, double squeeze

rectifying the count for squeeze, compound squeeze, making plays in the proper order.

 

A short list of topics that most beginners and many intermediates would be hard pressed

to make an intelligent decision about WHERE to post for more information. Is a guard

squeeze in the realm of the advanced or expert? I seriously doubt anyone is posting on

the forums in order to tick off the players they are asking for advice. If a post is

obviously not expert it is most likely because the poster is unaware of just where to

post their question.

 

We are a group of players that do not mind spending some spare time giving back to a game

we have played and enjoyed (in my case for a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time).

Everyone has to start somewhere and it is not easy to recall just how little we individually

knew about this fine game when we first started.

 

IMHO the forum would be a much more user friendly place if we would just ignore the posts that

do not interest us and inform others of our opinion (hopefully with reasoning) only on those topics

we find interesting (even if not challenging). There is no way to offer opinion about almost any

subject without risking offending someone else with a different opinion, that's life. What makes

good partnerships is two players that closely agree with what the other is choosing to do. NOTE

that this does not necessarily mean winning an event but enjoying the experience.

 

I have commented on some of the tiniest of differences I have with other posters that has caused

me to choose a different course of action (things like switching the position of a Q for example). This

does not mean I think their opinion is horrid but I may feel they did not give sufficient weight to

what I thought was an important point. There is also the possibility (umm probability) they felt I was

picking nits and ignored my opinion. So be it I did what I could and it is up to each reader to glean

as much information as they can from our disparate group of posters and hopefully learn.

 

My strongest objections to various choices are usually ratings below 3 on a 1-10 scale and an occasional

"dereliction of duty" accusation. Too strong?? possibly, but there needs to be some way of adding emphasis

to what appears to be a choice of series of choices that appear to be headed in the wrong direction. I for one

have no intention of starting each post with something like "Please forgive this humble servant in advance for

any phrase of utterance that somehow manages to offend. It is merely my lack of personal knowledge of how best

to convey the information I wish to convey not a lack of good intentions" bah takes longer to apologize then

tell people what I think.

 

If you have an idea on how to handle specific situations do not hijack the current problem start your own

and offer up your solution so it can be handled there. Always try to answer each question within the context

in which it was offered without denigrating the "conditions" too much (you can always abstain).

 

OK that's my opinion on this subject so everyone come at me with all the vitriol at your command because I can take

it (unlike many newer players who may be scared away for these forums (or far worse bridge itself) when treated poorly).

120 views and NOT ONE REPLY???????????????? Come on speak up for your rights to trash others. This is

the right place to do it because your harsh opinions have been SOLICITED. If my little diatribe has

started a new and conceivably friendlier (even politically correct) environment YAY! Keep up the good work.

gszes the fact is, your way to write inserting INTRO (End of Line character) after few words for no reason, changing the normal lie out of text is very tiresome for me to read, so I hardly ever read anything you write that is longer than 3 lines.
