Sorry, this user has no cards yet.
- Fargo & Bridge
- I wasn't convinced that the episode titles' relationships to the episodes' plots did suggest possessing a deep knowledge as much as possessing a book with an extensive glossary.
- King Please or Thank you?
- To be fair to RHO here (whose behaviour with touching the card is totally wrong), if he hears "king please" - he may not realise that he has heard this erroneously (accents?). AS far as he is concerned, the king is played (despite some of the things you state above). If ...
- Very Unlikely
- Hi I think this might be a UK vs USA divide. Alternative vs Alternate was my point. In UK, first means an option.....technically only one....and the second is an oscillation between one thing and the other. I'd noticed your alternate universe in past, but didnt want to ...
- King Please or Thank you?
- Is the suggestion that dummy knows the king is a mistake, while declarer doesn't? At trick one? Default position would be to take as "thank you". However. RHO may have, in view of screens, had the only good hearing of the call. If it was "king, please", he would ...

- correct director call
- So the "Mom!" One is basically, "AW, REF?!"
- correct director call
- Agree. I think more info is needed here to explain the scenario. Is the insufficient bid genuine, or a typo? Was there a reason to think RHO had bid? A hesitation, or a comment? I suspect somewhere there is a mistake or omission in the post.
- Very Unlikely
- ER : I suppose the suggestion is that UI can be replaced/"overruled" by AI.
