- Assign the Blame/Credit
- It's the old story -- people often say the 18-19 balanced hand isn't a problem hand-type ... until it is, and you lose the 10 IMPs again.
- Yuan Shen's bidding problem: AKQT875 --- AKJ985 ---
- I wonder if anyone's tempted to open 1♦ and rebid 6♠? The problem with 1♠ then 6♦ is you don't want partner to prefer diamonds with 1-2 in the pointed. You never know, they might try to cash any of the round suit aces ...
- Yuan Shen's bidding problem: AKQT875 --- AKJ985 ---
- That's a nice idea but we don't play SA preempts.

- Pretty good players, BW standard
- Yuan Shen's bidding problem: AKQT875 --- AKJ985 ---
- I reckon the auction proceeds with silent opponents, either 2♣ - 2♦ 2♠ - 3♠ ? Plan? 2♣ - 2♦ 3♠? - 4♣ ? Plan? Of course you can separate out what you're supposed to know.
- Leonard Helfgott's bidding problem: 9742 AKQT AKQT5 ---
- I was planning on 4♠ next which shows roughly this hand (at least it did, decades ago). If partner is staring at strong spades, or perhaps unexpected bonus tricks in clubs, he ought to find a bid.
- Posting Timeout
- Greg, there's a difference between -posting- and -creating- an article. It makes sense to delay articles from instant-posting. But couldn't there just be a timer: "your article will appear in 90 minutes (2 days, or whatever)" or whatnot.
- Leonard Helfgott's bidding problem: 9742 AKQT AKQT5 ---
- 2♥ lets me see if partner has a 5-card spade suit. Note that 6♦ could easily be better than 6♠, even at pairs.
- Increasing use of hand diagrams
- Yes, there are sometimes comments along the lines of: there's a typo on page so-and-so. They are of a different flavor to the bridge comments I'm interested in. Of course, there's the occasional article where the setup is so flawed that it's hard to know where ...
- Richard Fleet's bidding problem: 2 AQJ83 Q84 AQ63
- I'd double over 2 or 3♠.
