Believe that an opening bid opposite an opening bid should have some play for 1NT.
Wish I could play more bridge.

- What accomplishment earned this letter
- Is it time to have (master)point-less events?
- Liam Milne's bidding problem: AKQ95 JT4 --- AKQ87
- If partner is 1282 maybe I can still save a few imps going down in 4♠. The S9 persuades me maybe I can crush J10x, and clubs split 33....
- Shawn Drenning's lead problem: J6 AQ8 K62 98753
- Did p forget to open in 3rd seat?
- Assess the credit. What is the best bid?
- Could north have AQJx in spades? Or maybe should north have had that hand -- what would 5S have meant?
- Why is the accepted point range for bidding as it is?
- Even traditionally, if responder has (about) 6+ HCP, s/he must respond. But a response does not guarantee 6+ HCP. e.g. it's not good bridge to pass 1♣ with Q10xxxx xx xxxx x.
- How do you raise?
- I'm just not that bothered about missing game. I'm sure to be in hearts by bidding 2H. Sure I might lose to those in 4H but I'll have company in 2, and I think over many boards the low road pays most at matchpoints.
- When does a "Takeout Double" of 1!C become Ineffective?
- I choose takeout in the sense that we prioritise the majors. At 1+C or less I prefer the 2C overcall as natural.
- Suggested methods after “problem” reverse of 1H-1N(f)-2S?
- No, in that it's important to show shape. I think of the 1H 2S bid as more like a heart rebid (while showing side distribution).
- Suggested methods after “problem” reverse of 1H-1N(f)-2S?
- Slightly different take but relates to this problem. Using 2C as Gazzilli takes power hands out of 1H 1N 2S, allowing the direct reverse to promise 4-6. Opener is thus less inclined to pull to hearts having already promised 6.
- Number 73 buses
- I reckon I would have made this on a diamond lead ...
