2-Way, 3-Way Game Try?
|
| |
Partner and I have been playing 2-Way game try, where after 1M - 2M
- new suit by 1M bidder shows shortness and
- next suit (2S/2N) asks what suit P would accept a game try in.
We are wondering if there is an approach that keeps this structure and allows 1M bidder to specifically ask P for shortness?... more »

Lead problems.
|
| |
Two difficult (?) leads.
1) I hold clubs AK10753 - Partner QJ98 . Neither of you have outside entry or trick. Opponents in 3NT.
Right or wrong I lead Ace.- dummy small singleton. Partner plays 8 ( right or wrong? How do we play. 2) Opponents bid weakly to 6NT. You are on lead with Axxx in Spades. Nothing outside. Partner has KJxx and declarer QX, with 14 tricks on top outside. What do I lead. If I lead AS - I may be setting up King if with declarer as expected from bidding.... more »

Two Decisions
|
| |
1: Regional A pairs event. You are all vul in third and there are two
passes to you. You hold
AKJT xxx Kx xxxx
Your partner was free to open fairly light, so you are not obligated
to bid to protect. You are playing 12-14 1NT, five-card Majors. So,
what do you do?

Yes, another discussion with partner.
Nobody vul, RHO opens a strong NT and you hold:
? 8 6
? A J 7 6
? A K 4
? K Q 10 5
You are playing Meckwell, double is not penalty. (shows both majors or a long minor)
2C would show Clubs and a Major
2NT would be minors
2H would be natural... more »

Onze afspraak over pre-emps vind ik niet geweldig en jij wist het ook niet meer helemaal.
Daarom stel ik voor die eerdere afspraak maar in de prullebak te gooien.
En de volgende simpele afspraak te maken
2H en 2Sch opening belooft een goede 6kaart
behalve niet kwetsbaar in de derde hand , dan belooft het een vijfkaart... more »

opening lead
|
| |
I lead a singleton ace in defending against slam.
other than that, when is it good to lead a singleton ace? and when is
it not good?
|
|
|
Should dummy tell partner his is in his hand?
|
| |
What is the rule/etiquette for the dummy when his partner is in his hand and asks for a lead from the dummy?
Should dummy tell partner he is in his hand or simply pull the card and wait for the opponents to do so?
