Wish I could play more bridge.

- Balanced 17+-19 hcp hands in competition
- I like and wrote various versions of 2C=18/19 or strong. Responder assumes balanced in competition (similar to interference over 1N). Version 1 basic is to play 2C - 2D as forcing 2N (or strong showing). Natural higher responses, natural NF at 2 level (2N NF weak minors...), forcing at ...
- Playing Count as the primary signal on Partner's leads
- A few bits and pieces: If playing attitude, then with xx in dummy, attitude on A would be for K respectively. Typically, from AKxxx or longer the K might solve the over ruff mystery. Against NT, you can't get it right all the time, but on ace lead (with ...
- David Caprera's bidding problem: x QT8xxx 9x AKJx
- Anyone play 2N art here? Can bid 3N to play.
- Is this forcing?
- You can play 1m 1S 2m 2H (agreed as forcing by OP) 2N 3H non forcing 1m 1H 2m 2S (reverse, clearly forcing) 2N ? - 3H NF (natural 4-6) - 3S F (reverse but not promising more than 5-5 shape). Opener will obviously pick a major with 3 cards, 3NT with at ...
- Minor Suit Gazzilli Problem
- Various options: If you're happy opening 1C or 1NT, that's fine mostly. Play in some 5-1 fits sometimes. If you play 1D 1M ; 1N as Gazzilli, then 1D 1M ; 2C is non forcing and natural (4-4+). I think you'd want to play 1D 2M as limited majors ...
- Gerben Dirksen's bidding problem: KT9 AQJT876 K2 5
- If partner has s power double, it might be important to get to 6N from my side, so respect to those blasting 4N.
- Frances Hinden's lead problem: Q42 K542 3 AT842
- Did a spade not work out?
- Ned Kohler's bidding problem: AKJT963 --- KQJT72 ---
- 6S is hardly laydown and will be passed. 6D gets us to 7 when partner has the DA, which a) helps with trump control and b) provides a sure entry if we are going to close our eyes and take a spade finesse.
- Eli Jolley's bidding problem: AKJT82 AT987 T J
- I reckon there will be another bid somewhere (but could easily be wrong, might even miss an 11 card heat fit), so looking to try 5H next.
- Eric Leong's bidding problem: J62 AQ6 J AJT762
- But I think we have a fair idea what South has
