- Should This NLM Stay in his Lane?
- Enough has been said about who should have said what etc. I personally prefer to focus on the bridge. With that in mind: 1. West might have put back the Q♥ instead of the K♥ to try and obscure East's HCP. Similarly East maybe should encourage ♥ ...
- Mike Gill's bidding problem: xx AKQxxxxx x xx
- Disclaimer 1: This may be just my experience of these spots. Disclaimer 2: I hate the fact I am backing pass Whenever partner has the hand where the "sac" works perfectly they raise me to 6. This combined with the pass over 3♦ doesn't fill me with hope.
- Divertimento
- @Mike S: 1NT+3 looks cold to me (yet to see a killing defence) so i don’t think it matters what South does at this (or any) point.
- Play 6NT
- @Richard. Say West switches to a Spade. We can now set up this ending: Q x - W <> - Kx x - This is a really good position to be in. Definitely far better than most other options. Hence a ♥ is clearly a more dangerous return from LHO
- Play 6NT
- @Richard imo, the T♦ is better then a heart and a diamond to the T as it gives LHO the opportunity not to return another heart (not good for us). Assuming we do play the T♦ and they do return a heart (and hearts are 5=2 as ...
- Play 6NT
- If ♣ break what we do at T2 is "mostly" irrelevant. If we cash ♣ and have one club loser then we go for this position: AQx - - - <> x x x - For this to work RHO cannot have: a) K♠ b) 4+♥ and 4+♦ If we lead a ...
- 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.
