- Richard Traxler's bidding problem: KQTxxx AQ --- AKTxx
- 1♠ - 5♦ Pass.
- Recommend a partnership style
- Newer players notoriously over and under bid. At MPs, it's fine to persistently underbid and let results move people to the center. E.g. 2S+2 will get some matchpoints for being in the right strain, some declarers may be 4S-1 anyhow. But when students see zeroes for 2S ...
- Louk Verhees's bidding problem: QT9 A986543 --- 653
- I once had a partner raise my 3♦ preempt to 4♦ with 5-5-1-2 shape.
- Yet Another What's This Double
- I think all suit bids by advancer are natural (including 2♠).
- T/O X
- Against 1♠, there's something to be said for a few Roman jump overcalls (rather than natural, weak) which can be bid on the shapely minimums: (1♠) ? - 2♠ = 4+♥, 5+♣ - 3♣ = 4+♦, 5+♣ - 3♦ = 4+♥, 5+♦ They are an ...
- Anant Rathi's bidding problem: T7xxx Qx AJTx xx
- (Without discussion) I think 4♦ would be more like: AQxxx xx AJ10x xx ? Concentration in my bid suits. Or more crudely, just a slam try (yes I know 2N-then-4♦ can be played as that).
- João Faria's lead problem: KJ632 KQ93 T 854
- Seems like a clear double fit hand.
- Dave Robinson's bidding problem: AQJ987 T2 AJ6 76
- if you wanted to lie, 2♦ is probably better -- at least you will then find out if partner is bidding a non forcing 2♠ next. As far as I know raising 2♠ to 3♠ then is still non forcing.
- ATB : Expensive Misdefense
- @MR, after I failed to return partner's singleton lead for the third time in a session, partner told me something like: "How about I only ever lead a singleton [in a side suit]?" Zack Madden might remember more clearly his exact words. And no, we didn't do well ...
- Adam Parrish's bidding problem: QT63 KJ KJ93 A52
- Only bid below 3NT to show ♦ support. x A Q x x x A Q x x x x x isn't a huge hand, but good for diamonds.
