A busy evening, and a bidding problem
|
| |
I was directing last night's multiple teams at the club. It was without a doubt the busiest evening I have had as a director: - 4 established revokes, though none involving a judgment to restore equity - 2 contested claims, both trivially resolved - 2 minor penalty cards and one major penalty card - a pair saying "We can't move down two, we just came from there!".... more »

Cuebid by advancer after inverted minor sequence by opponents
|
| |
Without discussion, what would you take as the meaning for the following 3D call by unpassed hand? 1D-(P)-2D-(3D)? How would you prefer to play it? How about by a passed hand? Would the meaning change if all of the diamond bids were club bids? Thanks, Bill Campbell

Negative double reopening sequences
|
| |
Folk: I learned to play in a WNT system, so never had problems with reopening in NegX (penalty pass) sequences. Since 95% of my partners now want to play SNTs (poor, benighted souls), it has come to my attention that there is a real difference of opinion regarding what kinds of hands reopen, playing... more »

What is this convention
|
| |
My cue bids below game are normally aces but I know many here like to cue bid a first or second round control (normally Ace or King).

Suppose the bidding goes 1S-3S then opener's bids have the following meaning... more »

South, on lead, is declaring 3NT. A2 - K2 - - QJ J2 - AQ JT - - K KT3 - - He has two tricks, and hopes to squeeze West for a third. He leads the king of spades, and West has no answer: a heart discard allows declarer to win all four tricks, while the queen of diamonds lets declarer overtake with dummy's ace of spades and exit with a diamond to West, who... more »
