helene_t Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Just wrote a review of all the boards and then my browser crashed :( Reconstructing a few of them 2: Misunderstanding, is 4♥-(pass)-5♥ barage or invite? 9: Horrible decision but maybe I should just bid my 6-card suit?1♠-(p)-1NT-(2♣*) *=rounded suits2♦-(p)-?J-AQxxxx-Jx-JTxx 12: Our defense went wrong as ♠JT colided, promoting dummy's ♠7. 14: 1♣-(pass)-1♠-(pass)1NT- (2♣) - xIMO the double with a club void is not so practical unless you expect partner only to pass with a 2335 or so. But maybe that was the assumption? 16: I raised Nigel's 2NT to 4NT with a 3532 10-count. Very stupid. Just keep playing bridge even if you are down umpty imps. 17: Funny 1NT. I got a chance to make it when JEC squeezed his partner on the fourth heart but I butchered it. 19: KTxxx-Ax-Kx-AKxx. Do you just bid 2♠ over RHO's 2♦ or are you strong enough to start with a double? The aggressive choice worked here. 20: 432-Kxx-Kxx-KQTx. Is the worst possible support worth showing when partner opens 1♠? Nigel choice not to, leading to a good 3NT contract against the poor 4♠ contract at the other table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 BBF team won by a large margin. Period.Yes, two of JEC's players are of very dubious nationality. Without their support from illegal immigrants we would have won easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nige1 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 #2 Misunderstanding, is 4♥-(pass)-5♥ barage or invite? We had no agreement. Over a 4M pre-empt, I think the Sharples brothers treatment was:4N = ASK. for keys.New suit = ASK for control. You cue-bid the suit below the suit where you need a control. (Lacking controls in 2 plain-suits, you would usually pass the pre-empt).5M raise = ASK about trump quality.Over the new suit ask, opener has enough space to distinguish between 1st and 2nd round control. AFAIR, something like:5M (Opener's suit) = NEG. Denies 1st or 2nd round control.Transfer suit = CUE. 2nd round control.6M (Jump to slam) = NAT. 1st round control. Nothing else to show.Other suit = CUE. 1st round control and this control.5N = 1st round control and solid trumps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I bid hearts the ole eagle may well get us to the making game for +420 instead of -180. The downside of a 2♥ bid instead of double is that it will (often as in here) end the auction.

eagles123 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 were the earlier comments a joke/whats the gossip? Felt we were beaten fair and square! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 were the earlier comments a joke/whats the gossip? Felt we were beaten fair and square!For the next 4 years (hopefully not longer), the distinction between fact and fiction will be at best fuzzy. We lost in the electoral imps, but won the popular imps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
