- Phil Clayton's bidding problem: KJ83 AKQJ 3 A963
- Not a whole lot. I'm just imagining a hand where partner is not strong enough for 3H, but has long hearts. - xxxxxx Axx Kxxx slam is very good for instance (and if they lead a spade I think my worthless spade holding makes it essentially cold on 21 trumps)
- Phil Clayton's bidding problem: KJ83 AKQJ 3 A963
- I bid 4H, but we could easily miss a slam here
- Shawn Drenning's bidding problem: AT5 --- AJ8532 KT97
- How do you like to play over an inverted minor raise? I was not explicit, but with the 11-13 balanced hand I would frequently just bid 2NT even if not everything was stopped. Agree 3♥ as an initial splinter would be better (both on this hand and as an ...
- Mindless revoke
- If all we do when a pair revokes is restore equity, it seems that then the rules essentially incentive revokes because if I'm caught revoking, frequently I will not lose, but if I am not, I may gain a trick. This does not sit well with me because it ...
- Mindless revoke
- "I hate the revoke rule and its random effects, and would far prefer to play in a game where we simply restore the equity that existed before the revoke" I think this makes sense in a strong game where a revoke is likely to get noticed, but less so the ...
- A better rating system
- "And would anybody ever give that player the light of day if they actually cared about rankings and stuff" Sure, why not? Presumably this lady would have a low rating. I think what a rating system cannot capture though is that since bridge is a partnership game some element of ...
- A better rating system
- I get that a player who does well in a hard event is likely to do even better in a small club game (and to some degree vice versa), but it does still strike me as a little silly to say player A and player B both have rating X ...
- A better rating system
- I would think any decent rating system would account for this (it will not be a "good" result if you get a 70% playing with Rodwell against 0-49 players)
- Simon Weinberger's bidding problem: K74 KT KT765 A32
- Yeah, it really seems like this problem completely depends on what your partner's standards are to bid here.
- Peg Kaplan's lead problem: QJ 86532 T73 JT8
- Lead a spade still, if partner has something like K109xx of spades and a minor suit stopper is he really gong to double 3NT here?
