- Mark Chen's lead problem: J3 Q 8654 A87532
- Partner had xx A53 AKJx QJxx. Declarer was 6-6 in the majors with a stiff diamond. The winning defense was HQ to HA, heart ruff, diamond to the K, another heart ruff. I unfortunately led a diamond and Declarer made 4H. Everybody on the poll did better than me on ...
- Mark Chen's lead problem: 42 A732 T95 AJ83
- Probably seemed like a boring problem, I thought a diamond lead was called for also. Survey has ♦T(25), ♦5(1), and ♠2(3). The layout is Board #8 at http://clubresults.acbl.org/Results/139386/2019/01/190124E.HTM. On this hand, the ♥A lead is needed. Poll seems ...
- Attitude or Count Signal?
- Thanks all, got lots of replies to this post, some relevant and some on a tangent. Declarer had ♠Jx ♥KQT9x ♦x ♣AKTxx and was cold after winning the ♠A, cashing ♣Q, and leading to her ♥T. Partner had ♠KQ9xx ♥A ♦AQxx ♣Jxx, won his ♥A, and then underled in spades ...
- Mark Chen's bidding problem: K52 AQ4 A953 K53
- As of now there are 25 passers and 9 1NT bidders. LHO opened light with ♠xx ♥KTx ♦KJxx ♣Axxx, RHO stole from us by bidding 1♠ with ♠JTxxx ♥Jxx ♦Txxx ♣x. The Opponents bid uncontested 1♦-1♠-1NT-2♣!-2♦ (2♣ is an invite or a diamond ...
- Prahalad Rajkumar's bidding problem: A5 AKQ984 AQ AK4
- I wanted to bid 8NT but Bridge Winners website would not allow it. I do see that 8NT is not cold, looks like we might need a squeeze for that to come home! I ended up bidding 5S to show 2 or 5 with Q. But I admit I would ...
- Who Bid Too Much?
- East was 2731.
- Mark Chen's bidding problem: KQ9 9643 --- AQJ954
- Yes, after I saw the whole layout I was happy we were not -800.
- Mark Chen's bidding problem: KQ9 9643 --- AQJ954
- I held the East cards on this hand. North held ♠JTxxx ♥xx ♦AK8xx ♣x and did a long pause before passing 3♦, after which South bid 3♠ and then North raised to 4♠. South acknowledged the long pause during the bidding. West had ♠Ax ♥QJx ♦QJT9x ♣Kxx ...
- Leo Lasota's bidding problem: 75 AJ5 965 AQ976
- This problem is solved by opener rebidding 2NT (or 2♥ Kokish) when 5332. When was the last time it went 2♣-2♦-2♠ and the best contract was for Opener to declare 3NT? The final contract is almost always a suit contract after this start. I believe the ...
- Leo Lasota's bidding problem: A84 J9864 Q5 T74
- I wonder if 3♦ here is a Game Try in hearts since I'm a passed hand and I can't have diamonds worth bidding on their own at the 3 level. If so, that is what I would like to bid.
