Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Memory Strain
- I hear this a lot (not necessarily to me): "you think so much about your system, you forget to play the cards well!" and then that same person will lose 8 IMPs on a t/o vs penalty misunderstanding the next set. I like to give the benefit of the ...
- Opp Sacrifice at Matchpoints
- I would def have bid 2♥ as West and maybe set up a force as East but might still have achieved the table result. Opps judged well.

- The ♦ Ace is wastage of sorts. The same hand with the club Ace instead would be the hand to keycard with. 5♦ describes my hand perfectly imo.
- Paddy Murphy's bidding problem: A98 AT98 964 AT9

- 4C seems a fine rebid to me
- Assign blame
- @D Burn: Sorry, but I think you need a new bit.
- Michael Rosenberg on a Grand Slam
- I disagree. Even setting aside the etymology, this is a perfectly acceptable and not especially unusual use of the word 'eulogy'.
