- 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 ...

- 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.
- Leo Lasota's bidding problem: 75 AJ5 965 AQ976
- I don't understand why people play 3♣ here as 2nd negative. Why not play old fashioned way where 2NT is 2nd negative and 3♣ is nice and natural? 2NT as 2nd negative also saves space and allows Opener to bid a nice natural 3♣ if that ...
- Leo Lasota's bidding problem: KQT T943 Q642 K4
- I would have also doubled 2C.
