- Gerben Dirksen's bidding problem: AKQ875 AJ8 K3 85
- Why wouldn't 4♦ be natural? 18+ points, 6+ diamonds
- Board 9 from the 04/16/2018 Common Game
- Normally, a jump to 4♠ is preemptive showing a hand like ♠Kxxxx ♥xxx \dx \cxxxx. If you are aware of the possibility your partner has an opening hand for their 4♠ response, it is best to alert your opponents of the potential of responder holding an opening hand ...
- Board 5 from the 04/16/2018 Common Game
- 4NT would be regular Blackwood for many. To RKC for hearts, you need to set hearts as trump. Even so, 5♦ gave North-South a chance for a top.
- fast arrival
- I voted that South's hand is too good for fast arrival, but recommend you drop fast arrival opposite an unlimited hand. There are many times when a slam is possible opposite a minimum opener, but the 5-level isn't necessarily safe. Fast arrival forces you to guess. Why not ...
- two weak 2 openers
- I voted both assuming a 2M response is NF.
- ATB
- Per Karen's article, 2NT then cue bid is a GF with 4♥ and no stopper. 2NT then 3NT is same with a stopper.
- ATB
- Karen Walker's lebensohl article is quite good. http://kwbridge.com/leb.htm Using her recommended agreements, West can lebensohl and then bid 4♣ to make a slam try in the rounded suits. The actual auction sounds like a slam try in hearts. East should definitely cooperate. Without agreements ...
- ATB
- West's cue bid should be looking for 4-card heart support. When West bids 4♥ over 4♦, East should assume West was looking for slam if East has 4 hearts. East has 4 hearts, 3 key cards, a good 5-card suit, and shortness. East cannot pass 4♥.
- Sorta Like Gazilli
- Not like Gazzilli. It seems like a modified version of Bart or Lisa.
- Opinion on a director's ruling.
- West didn’t show a spade control. Why would East cue bid without a spade control?
