Yosep Hutasoit's bidding problem: AKQJ5 AKQT J AQJ: Very strange. What do we think is going on? Does RHO hold 9 diamonds to the K and is planning to pull to 2D?
Idiotism?: I already addressed your first two points, and I hope you have some evidence for your third point.
Idiotism?: GIB works by creating possible hands for partner and opponents to hold on the bidding and figures out the best move from there. While on this hand 2♠X would score better than 3♦, perhaps if you held a more likely weaker hand you only beat 2♠ one ...
TAKE OUT or PENALTY - OPPONENT'S PREEMPT: May I suggest not using all capital letters, as well as using the buttons for suit symbols?
Vanishing point.: I assume 2♠ shows 6+. If you ruff and cash the ♦A, your partner's card should tell you which minor suit to return. Actually, this gives up an over trick against QJxxxx, Q, Kxx, Axx with South. So discarding seems better.
One player has the correct hand. Ruling...: Law 7A: When a board is to be played, it is placed in the centre of the table until play is completed. Law 7D: Any contestant remaining at a table throughout a session is primarily responsible for maintaining proper conditions of play at the table. Based on Law 7D, all ...
Equity?: Give declarer whatever number of tricks he can make double-dummy after starting with ♥AK and seeing the ♥Q fall, or however many tricks he made (with the revoke) plus the 2-trick penalty, whichever is greater.
"Clay" Movement: Gotcha.
Bid these hands.: 1S-2H-3C-3D-4N-6D 1C-1H-1S-2D-3C-3D-4D-4H-4S-4N-6D
Quiz2: Even though I've only discussed Kokish with my partners through 2♣-2♦-2♥-2♠-3NT, it logically extends to 2♣-2♦-2♥-2♠-5NT to show this hand. Then partner is forced to 6NT or can show a long suit at the 6-level.
