- Going Down Swinging
- There was a national pairs session several years ago where my partner and I averaged 29% for the first 12 boards and 77% for the second 12.
- Puppet/Muppet Stayman Question
- Whilst I like 3♠=3♠ (see below) this argument feels redundant to me. If I have 5♠-4♥ then we have a definite major fit after partner bids 3♦. Why not just bid 4m.

- Puppet/Muppet Stayman Question
- 3♠ = I have 3♠. Power Acol! Imagine you have 3415 with a 7 count. You want to offer partner the choice of contracts. Good hands can cue 4m.

- I have posted my (unfortunately lengthy) thoughts on the hand and the actual results here: https://bridgewinners.com/article/view/a-hand-of-many-stories-analysis/ The first and hopefully last hand I feel compelled to write a thesis about.
- Transfers when partner overcalls and they raise
- My partner and I play a lot of transfers in these spots but simplify them down. This is slightly less optimal for various reasons (mainly when raising partner) but we get far more usage out of it and have 1 symmetrical system for lots of spots. Atm we play transfers ...
