Wish I could play more bridge.

- Dorn Bishop's bidding problem: AKQJ93 A865 A5 Q
- When playing some sort of transfers over a possibly-strong 2♣ opening, I use: 2♣ - 2♦ ? - 3♣ | ♦ = single suit hearts | spades - 2♠-->2NT relay (then 3♣|♦ = the minor, and 3M = major + diamonds, 3NT = both majors) - 3M = the major + clubs. I reckon this is ...
- Jeff Rogers's bidding problem: Q42 KJT5 KQJ 963
- We really need partner to have some extras -- any hand with a singleton will routinely bid game opposite a limit raise. Too bad if the singleton is in diamonds.
- David Coles's bidding problem: AKQ5 K876 JT6 A6
- I wouldn't bid 4♦ in the sequence 1NT (3♦) 4♦. With hearts, I'd bid 3♥, then 4♥. With spades, I can try 4♠ (or 3♠ then 4♠). With both, I'd bid 3♠ then 4♥. After the hand ...
- Alan Shillitoe's bidding problem: JT763 K9 K7642 6
- If this hand was worth inviting, then it should have been via Stayman the first round. Since I'm NV, I would have just invited 3♠ over a 2♠ response, and bid 2♠ over 2-red (allowing partner to go with a max-and-3).
- Kyle Rockoff's bidding problem: K7653 82 97 AT84
- How about +790 opposite Axxx xx x KQxxxx. As a passed hand, 3♠ is easily known as a fit-non-jump. It looks fairly certain the opponents are bidding (and making) 4♥, so I think bidding is no-cost here.
- Is this alertable (T-Walsh)
- It's not quite equivalent, because many will rebid 1♠ with 4, when the standard X = 4 spades. A more equivalent scenario is: 1♣ (1♥) Dbl = 4+ spades where now opener tends to rebid 1♠ with three, and 2♠ with four (and a minimum).
- Support Double with Subminimum?.
- The way to think about sub-minimum 3rd seat openers is to treat them as a '0-level' bid: you're willing to get partner to the 1 level (as Jay says). I would however double if the hand was improved to Qxxx 10xx AKJxx x Then, I would have no issue ...
- Adam Weisz's bidding problem: QJxxx Jxx Kxx Kx
- The case for transfers in competition.
- Steven Allen's bidding problem: Q A3 K763 K98542
- I'll double 5♠.
- T-walsh, 1C-1D-1S-2C whats your style ?
- Michael, xyz allows unambiguous setting of trumps on stronger hands by a jump to the 3 level. For instance 1C 1D(H) 1S 3C sets clubs. With 4th suit forcing one runs into the difficulty of showing support. I do however agree that the balancing aspect is overrated.
