- Do bridgeplayers LIKE conventions?
- If NS were not playing that Stayman convention it’s easy to imagine 1nt-2nt-3nt going two down on a heart lead? Even three down is possible. So I guess reaching 4♠ was a success even if they couldn’t play the cards well enough to make it. People do ...
- Honolulu BRP 7NT Lead Discussion
- Because you don’t have the ace. If you have the ace in case A you double, no need to break tempo. Why do you break tempo? Because you do not have the diamond ace, but you have something else that gives a chance to set. Now you must consider ...
- Honolulu BRP 7NT Lead Discussion
- The declaring side. The point is that for A, double will always get you a diamond lead. So if you have ♦A you double. If you just have nothing you pass. When do you have a problem? If you think they are going down (so might want to double for ...
- Honolulu BRP 7NT Lead Discussion
- Seems like you can divide players into two groups: A: double would show the diamond ace. Since south did not double, there are many LAs to leading a diamond. Partners BIT doesn’t suggest a diamond lead, because with diamond ace he would certainly double — most likely he thinks they ...
- Honolulu BRP 7NT Lead Discussion
- So it looks like the argument here is: 1. It is obvious to lead a diamond based on the auction. 2. Double would call for a diamond lead. 3. However, South's hesitation (followed by a failure to double) suggests that he would like a diamond lead. 4. North's ...
- Honolulu BRP 7NT Lead Discussion
- There seems to be some inconsistency here. The question is, how clear would it be that a double asks for a diamond lead? I know that I've never had any such discussion/agreement with any partner, but maybe these two have? In any case it seems like there are ...
- Transfers from a non-forcing 1 Club
- It seems fairly common (at least in the US) to play that: accept transfer = weaker NT with 2-3 card support 1NT = stronger NT with 2-3 card support jump accept transfer = weaker NT with 4-card support, or equivalent unbalanced hand double jump accept transfer = stronger NT with 4-card support Of course ...
- Transfers from a non-forcing 1 Club
- What happens on openers 3136 shape after 1♣-1♥? You have three card support but not really a strong hand? A lot of people like to use 1♣-1Red-1NT as like 18-20 balanced. This saves you from a 2NT rebid, so you can get out lower when responder is ...
- Fleisher and Martel Lead Blue Ribbon Pairs
- Surely this is part of it, but there are lots of good pairs in the field and Grainger-Hinze didn't actually WIN the BAM (just lead after the first day). So it feels like there's some carry-over effect (played so well in the last event they start the next ...
- Fleisher and Martel Lead Blue Ribbon Pairs
- Twice already this tournament, winners of a major event lead on the NEXT event after day one. Is there some reason for this (bridge players are “streaky”, some sort of intimidation factor, etc) or just chance?
