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? -- David Goldfarb |"Federal Espresso: When you absolutely, positively, goldfar...@gmail.com | have to stay up all night."... more »

What is this double? 
  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 -- Dave D

have the standards changed 
  Playing mps with a reasonable partner you pickup 94 A 9754 QJ9832 Partner opens 1NT (15-17) and the next player passes. What do you do? Would you bid differently if it was imps (if vulnerabilty matters please mention that.) Nick France

A Zero LTC Hand 
  My LHO in first seat in a pairs game had: VOID AKQTXX AKQJX AK Which is pretty much the strongest hand I have ever seen. He opened 2C, as even I would do, and his partner responded 2D. He rebid 2H and his partner bid 2S. He bid 3D got a 3H preference and bid seven. His partner put down KQJXX JXX X XXXX and declarer won the Club lead,... more »

Response sytem to 2C with no HCP but 6 Spades? 
  Partner opens 2C and our agreemen is to respond with a strong 5-card major or else 2D. Holding a 6=2=3=2 hand with 6 spades I would respond 2D and partner rebids 3C. What agreements could allow me to bid 3S? I dont expect this to happen soon. Bertil

One from the club 
  I wasn't present for this hand, but have had two different people call and ask me what I would do. I don't really think there is a "right" answer, but figured that it would generate a lot of discussion here. RHO opens 1H in first seat and you gaze upon: AKQxxxxxx, A, Kx, x they're vul and you're not. What's the popular choice here?... more »
