LHO opened 1NT
|
| |
...
Double, if that's penalty, otherwise pass. Not much you can do with a flat hand. On a bad day you won't even beat 1NT, but that's overly pessimistic. I prefer not to play penalty doubles over notrumps -- simply to prevent paetner from doubling with a flat 15, claiming "equal hand" as an excuse... more »

Have any of you played on BridgeBig.com? Do you think it will lure people

4432 One Club in the ACBL GCC
|
| |
I just took a look at the revised wording on the ACBL General
Convention Chart. At the head of "Defintions" it reads:
An opening bid of one club is natural if, by agreement, it may be exactly 4-4-3-2 with two clubs, three diamonds,
and four cards in each major.
I take it that their actual intent is for 1C to be natural if... more »

Precision 1D-1M-1NT = 11-12 HCP, alertable in ACBL land?
|
| |
The subject says it all.
Precision 1D (2+ diamonds, less than 16 "points") - 1M - 1NT = 11-12
HCP
Alertable in the ACBL?
Presumably, at a local club the lack of an alert has led to opponents
supposedly getting "stolen from" not realizing opener's hand is so
weak.
It is true from [link] , that... more »

How do you play this sequence?
|
| |
Playing in the Regional last week, my partner and I had a disagreement
about this sequence:
2NT-3H; 3S-5NT.
(3H is a transfer to spades.)
How does the group feel this ought to be played?

MPs, EW Vuln
W N E S
1S - - 1N
2S X - South's 1NT is protective (10-14). Playing a simple game (no previous agreement), is north's double for
takeout or penalties?
Thanks all
