I had been 32 when I first passed a hand. You obviously started earlier.

I am not surprised in any way, because CIA data base says that 96,7% of all Romanians in Iceland using strong pass system. :ph34r:

Well a rainbow has the colors sorted by wavelength, so I dunno what this is...

Hi:

This hand is not(repeat not) 13 more like a thin 12.

El Paso is correct playing standard methods.

I open most ten counts in a Big Club framework so I do open this trash.

Regards,
Robert

I feel like jjbrr is trying to tell me something....
Still decidedly intermediate - don't take my guesses as authoritative.

Scenario----Into bridge-decided with my new found partner,to go to London,and play in my first congress-very excited-starting Friday midday-Sunday night.
we arrived nice and early--To find that all the events (main) did not start untill 1900 hrs,but there was available a Duplicate pairs event,not in the congress @1300 hrs,so we decided to join the Blue rinse brigade,with due respect.
and proceeded to play---after 7 rounds we were about to move,when the opponents stated,when you go to the next table,there are 2 Internationals,ty i said,getting a bit worried-so we moved,a gentleman and lady,unknown to me.
International what does that mean??
so picked up my hand-unsorted ---sorted 21 points-i counted L/R yes 21--I counted
R/L yes 21 points opps shuffling about,not wishing to delay proceedings, I passed,yes i passed the shuffling added to my confusion... bidding proceeded,i was dealer

P---P---P---1n/t(12-14) no bidding boxes and no announcement it came back to me and my 21 points --i had no long suit,more shuffling -so i passed again,and all passed out.
so i led low from my long suit---a balanced dummy went down with 4 points,declarer won.plyd a card another suit i won continued my original suit won by declarer,and we bounced back and forth me winning opp winning,when it got to the 7/8 cards the lady Declarer was now shuffling even more and was very agitated rushed the rest of the play---we having secured 7 tricks,as i was counting our tricks-she tore the traveller out to fill in the result 1n/t by south MINUS 1
50 to us--HOW pretty it looked all the other results were 3n/t minus 1 50 to them.
and the traveller flung back on the table..we played the next hand and dissapered without any comment from anyone.when the session ended i suggested we go and have a pint of beer-ok said my partner,ill get them--looking over my card and having a good slug of beer--i mentioned to my partner Hand 7 against those two internationals i had 21 points,although i think we got a top i did not know what to bid--we play 2n/t as 20-22 yes said my pard? well what do you bid with 21???
My partner rmained silent:):lol: we had a long fruitfull and succesfull partneship,for many years

The names of the internationals were Boris Schapiro/Rixi Marcus,both fine players,now deceased,and although played against them many times,she always remembered me and that hand.

You play primitive English Acol so a 1NT rebid shows 15-16 or maybe 15-17.

I passed. RHO kept it open with 1♠. I doubled. P jumped to 3♥. I bid 4♥. P easily made 12 tricks.
The world would be such a happy place, if only everyone played Acol :) --- TramTicket
