steve2005 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 An overcall on a 4 card major with sort of hand (heart vales and good in a 4-3) are advocated in Lawrence's complete overcall. other do to.Bunch of unlucky things. Your club shortage opposite partners length and Gib raising on nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your club shortage opposite partners length and Gib raising on nothing. GIBBO does this often. At 2 level if in pass out position will balance with virtually anything.If at MoneyBridge BBO had to refund for abject stupidity, this would stop very quickly. vrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullve Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Or is my 1S overcall horrendous?You can find very authoratitive proofs, not only that 4=5, but also that 3=42=31=20=1, on YouTube. So, by transitivity of =, it would also be correct to overcall 1♠ with [hv=pc=n&s=sha8632dkt73cakt7]133|100[/hv]. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwnn Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Double partscore swings hurt at teams too. Those 5-6 imps add up. Money bridge I don't know about but I assume making partscores makes you money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money bridge I don't know about but I assume making partscores makes you money. any plus is good especially when GIBBO is sitting opposite. and yes, partscores add up. A lot. vrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
