Crazy thing is I didn't even play that great. Just GIB was giving up games that should of been down. I mean thanks for playing the 9 of hearts on board 2 GIB. Hell I should of doubled board 5 but I didn't think the auction was over.

Damn, so close to two wins in a week...

2/9294 84.87% not quite good enough

p - 1c - (1h) - 2c
(2d) - ?

What do various bids mean here? I have a casual partner and we didn't know how to explore for 3N under various circumstances where bidder has stops in one of the opponents and not the other. What should double, 2s, 2h & 3d mean?

What I'd imagine playing with a random adv+ player:

* DBL = penalty -- you've bid and raised a suit, so there's no need for takeout. If you want to bid more, just bid more.
* 2S = some sort of game try, as dictated by your agreements. What would 2S mean after 1H-2H? For me, a chunky spade suit with inv+ values. Partner is limited so this is a good hand. Partner can look at Ax of spades and feel good about prospects in clubs, or he can raise spades if he has spades
* 2H and 3D can be a few things, but they are showing extra strength of course and I'd assume without discussion that they show a stopper. Pard's priority should be to bid NT with the other suit stopped. This could also be some manner of GT/ST in clubs, if opener bids more after partner bids NT or clubs, so that you don't have to push all GT/ST hands thru 2S.

Well that was one of the sickest last second Meckwell comebacks I've seen. Lets go to the other table. You are ahead by 10 last board of the semis in the GNT (not that you know the exact amount)

w/w IMPs LHO deals

AKQJ5
AKQT
J
AQJ

Auction goes

(P)-1D-(1NT)-X
(2C)-P-(P)-???

Bathurst is on your right...

must be nice to pick up a 27 count when you're down 10 going into the last board

I missed the match -- I assume 2nd seat didn't open at the other table?

Obviously Meckwell is opening T/Jxx/AKQxx/T876 but they didnt get the psych, not like it should matter

Also board 29 had a 3S at both tables where the defense has 5 top tricks if they take them...yep Meckwells team wins 6 win their defense doesn't

Fireman's team putting a severe damper on my fantasy Spingold bracket. How inconsiderate of them.

Damn, I wanted a Fireman v Fireman matchup in the sweet 16

fmk is playing good friends of mine from victoria tomorrow unfortunately, tough draw for them and would normally be cheering for both to advance

Gl in spingold, I might try to watch segment 4 later, there were a lot of close matches at the start of q3

What was Boye's logic here?

also a bad link

guessing from post times, if it's the board where he overtook partner's second diamond lead from QJT, then I have no idea (perhaps he had a vision of needing to cash out, thinking partner couldn't have the ten of diamonds because he didn't lead it at trick 2... but then wouldn't declarer cover the jack with the king... so, I dunno)

Passed to you in 4th,

You have

Q84

Is this an open at mp? (We are vul vs nv)
What about imps?

marginal, but I think it's probably worth an open and pass whatever partner bids

It complies with rule of 15, so open. If RHO cannot open in 3rd hand nv vs v it seems we have the balance of power

It's 100% an open in my book.

Ok interesting, I thought there was enough to downgrade that pass could be ok but I guess always better to err on the side of bidding in these spots

Fun hand playing with mom on BBO
