- Shawn Drenning's bidding problem: 2 Q953 KT83 AKJ5
- How about if we are bidding spades and they are bidding hearts? Would you bid over 3♥ or 4♥?
- Gatlinburg 2019 - Condo Available
- I'm happy to hear it if others disagree and like seeing posts like this.

- IMO, this is pretty spammish and should not be posted on front page.
- Memphis hotels
- Do you see better rates? This is significantly cheaper than the rates I saw when I looked a month ago (and seems on the low end for a hotel in the downtown of a large city).
- Shawn Drenning's bidding problem: KQ73 A 6 A976432
- I bid 1S at the table with the majority, but after partner supported I was unsure how to engineer an auction to find out about club king, so I guessed to bid Blackwood and hope for best. Today partner had something like J10xx QJx Axx KJ10 and everything split, so ...

- I suspect the 2nt bidders play that as a raise (an agreement I like here, but did not have). At the table I did not really consider anything other than 3♣, but took some criticism in post-mortem for choosing to not show the spades. Are the 3♣ bidders ...
- Shawn Drenning's bidding problem: Q7 QT3 QJ53 J643
- I bid 3♣ at the table, which made me cringe at the time, but wanted to see what others thought (lest I was too biased from knowing result). We ended up going for -800 (probably should have been -500, but partner was a little frustrated and slipped a trick ...
