nt|fred: what he writes!)|pg||
nt|roswolf: lots of potential action on this hAND|pg||
nt|henryb: A typical BBO hand to start: a 6-5 misfit|pg||
mb|p|mb|1S|mb|2N|nt|fred: On this deal NS can win 10 tricks in diamonds while EW can win 9 tricks in spades with all the cards in view|pg||
nt|fred: 8 tricks maybe more likely - to win 9 you would have to take first round deep finesse in spades - if the contract is 4@S that would give up on making |pg||
mb|3S|mb|p|mb|p|nt|fred: Boye is not done bidding yet |pg||
nt|henryb: On the other hand after 2N maybe you should give up on making|pg||
mb|4D|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|pc|hA|nt|henryb: North has a pretty good hand on this auction|pg||
nt|fred: I think this is another example of a principle I alluded to in the previous segment|pg||
nt|roswolf: good judgment all round i think|pg||
pc|h2|nt|fred: Ljung has a useful hand, but Brogeland can play him for a little something|pg||
pc|h4|pc|h9|pg||
pc|s2|nt|henryb: For those of us who missed it ...|pg||
nt|fred: if that's all Boye needed to make 5@D, he can bid more himself|pg||
pc|sQ|pc|sA|nt|fred: not practical to play a style that guards against your partner having a useless hand|pg||
pc|d5|pg||
pc|c7|pc|c2|pc|cQ|pc|c4|pg||

mb|1S|mb|p|nt|fred: On this deal EW can make 5@S or 5@C while NS have 4 losers if they play in diamonds|pg||
mb|3D|nt|Walddk2: On board 1 the juniors got to 5@DX|pg||
mb|p|mb|4C|mb|p|nt|fred: Presumably here 3@D is some kind of artificial spade raise. For some pairs a DBL with the N hand would be "takeout of spades" (as opposed to diamond-showing)|pg||
mb|4S|nt|Walddk2: What's that Jon, some kind of Bergen or mini-splinter?|pg||
mb|p|nt|jbgood: minisplinter on a void i guess|pg||
mb|p|nt|fred: Given the vulnerability and all of his losers, I agree with Ljung's decision to not get involved|pg||
mb|p|nt|jbgood: Bergen is no big hit in Norway (apart from my home town that is)|pg||
nt|fred: on some hands staying silent with shapely hands gains because bidding makes it easier for the opps to guess if they end up declaring|pg||
nt|roswolf: pesumably 3@D was some kind of raise (splinter?) and if so i wonder why north didnt double - his side may be cold for game!|pg||
nt|fred: personally I like North's decision to stay silent|pg||
nt|roswolf: yes fred but at the vulnerability surely there is a great danger of beig conned by the opps|pg||
pc|dA|nt|fred: i don't think it is very likely|pg||
nt|Walddk2: Our operator is Sverre Johan Aal. Good evening to you too|pg||
nt|fred: opps will usually have at least half the high cards in the deck|pg||
nt|vugraph175: hi all :)|pg||
pc|s5|pc|d3|pc|d2|pg||
nt|fred: and your 2 Qx holdings suggest that partner may have fewer useful high cards than you would need for bidding to be right|pg||

pc|h3|nt|henryb: So KJ eighth and no side cards would be better?|pg||
pc|dK|pg||
nt|fred: i think it would increase the chances that you could make 5@D|pg||

mb|p|nt|skjaeran: OK with me|pg||
mb|1N|nt|roswolf: almost automatic assuming playing a strong nt|pg||
nt|henryb: I don't mind although I would not|pg||
nt|jbgood: me too|pg||
nt|skjaeran: I think all playing 15-17 NT in this field will open 1NT|pg||
nt|fred: i like it a lot, but one of my heroes, the late Edgar Kaplan, hated 1NT openings with 6-card minors|pg||
mb|2C|an|majors|mb|p|mb|2H|mb|p|nt|fred: nowadays it seems that people strive to bid when the opps open 1NT|pg||
nt|roswolf: now will e/w compete too much in the minors?|pg||
nt|fred: that makes life hard when you actually have a good hand like North does here|pg||
nt|skjaeran: They do, especially vs strong NT|pg||
nt|henryb: I think it substabtially increases the playing strength and decreases the defensive values|pg||
nt|fred: because you know your partner will give you a lot of rope (because you will often have a bad hand)|pg||
nt|fred: ie partner will not be so eager to jump if he has a hand that could produce a game - because you could have nothing|pg||
nt|roswolf: do we know if screens are in use?|pg||
mb|3H|nt|skjaeran: Yes - they are|pg||

nt|skjaeran: ROPI on?|pg||

mb|r|nt|skjaeran: Seems like that XX showing 0 keycards|pg||
nt|roswolf: i hope they are on the same wavelength!|pg||
