Phil Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Diana, is there a particular reason why the JEC/BBF matches are only on Saturdays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Diana, is there a particular reason why the JEC/BBF matches are only on Saturdays? Not really, for consistency. That's the time spot we inherited, and I thought it would be easier for people to plan to play knowing it's same time same day every week. They sometimes ask for teams at other hours or in other days, but I can almost never find 4 people, nevermind 2 regular partnerships to play ad hoc.

sakuragi Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Could try Helene+sakuragi as both have committed to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted June 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 barmar will be our 4th. Now let's see how you guys pair up. I'll tell susina we have helene_t + sakuraginige1 + barmar But if you wanna switch that's perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'll play with any of you, so if either of you prefer to pair up, let me know. To whoever I'm playing with, let's meet shortly before game time to discuss system (I play 2/1 with the usual gadgets, I like UDCA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Ok, I will be online at least half an hour before so we can agree on system. I am flexible but here is what I will suggest (feel free to make changes): - 2/1 GF always, even after 1♦-2♣- opener's reverse shows extras after 2/1- invitational jump shifts by unpassed hand uncontested, otherwise jumps are generally fit showing- rev drury. Other 2/1 by passed hand promise a rebid but are not gf.- inv min, 2-way checkback, landy, jacoby 2nt, rkc0314- 2/4 leads, std carding, att on partner's lead, suit pref in trump suit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Lost by 41. A lot of pushes. Poles bid an early slam on a hook and we probably didn't compete enough on some part scores. I made a lazy play which got barmar squeezed on a partial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana_eva Posted June 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thanks to Barry for taking over and to Phil for filling in. I had to go out, missed the start and had a long list of desperate messages from susina pending when I returned. Glad to find out it was solved. Any interesting hands to post?

helene_t Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Sakuragi played really well I think. Maybe we both stretched a bit in the constructive bidding which lead to some contracts that were too high. We had the bad luck that I declared most of the contracts our way and I usually made a trick less than I should. I think I went down in makeable contracts three times.

sakuragi Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 bd 24 As N, would you have passed partner X or retreat to 2♦? As N, would you be able to duck the ♣ at trick 2? though gib tells it yet makes. (seems i could not launch poll within thread, or could I?)

sakuragi Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 bd 26 As N, at trick 3 would you return a ♦ or ♠? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakuragi Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thanks Helene for suggesting 2 way check back.was indeed my 1st time playing the convention :lol: . Found it really handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 I made a stupid play in IMPs on 11. I could have taken my 9th trick, but I thought I could end-play JEC for an overtrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 bd 26 As N, at trick 3 would you return a ♦ or ♠?I probably should have continued spades. My thought was that declarer must have five spades (I took your ♠3 as 4th best). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
