Phil Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Any ideas? Especially about IMP/MP for the premier event? MPs is better. After playing both, I really do not think its close. Wayyyy less random and 15 comparisons, instead of about 4-8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 MPs is better. After playing both, I really do not think its close. Wayyyy less random and 15 comparisons, instead of about 4-8. Edit - think of it like this. You want to play JLall in this event. Would you rather play 15 hands of grinding for the nth trick, or play 15 hands, where maybe 8-10 rate to be pushes, and if things go your way 3 times on the other 5, you have a chance of beating him. Similarly, you're playing a demonstrably weaker player. Want to make them have to work for the win? Pick MPs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1cha Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 But the defence is subject to the same random disruption when you vary your carding as declarer.Yes, it is. But as declarer you make other decisions that will determine the outcome of a game more clearly. If I lose a game by misguessing the direction of a finesse for a queen, that's okay, it's bridge. But if I lose a game by discarding the 'wrong' card from ♥763 (knowing it's not a signal anyway) well ... Maybe I feel too strongly about it. The problem with best hand is it gives you information that you would not normally be allowed to use.Yes but it's not allowed to use because it would be unfair to one party. Here all parties have the same information, so it's not unfair.For example you can open an 11 HCP hand with 1m and pass a reply of 1♥ even in 1st seat as if you were in 4th seat. Yes, it differs, but bridge differs anyway depending if you play MPs or IMPs etc.Or you may know precisely that East cannot have ♠K because if it hat it would have more HCP than you; while in non-best hand you couldn't be so sure. But hey, it's still good bridge. These things just don't bother me. But I accept of course if others feel differently about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you need to switch to an easier game. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
