mb|p|mb|2N!|an|minors, less than an opening|nt|raghavan: both moniors less than opening hand with E|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: 3@h should be a force, though he's probably signing off in diamonds|pg||
mb|3S|nt|Vugraphu8: if they don't get in|pg||
mb|p|mb|4S|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|mdgraham: brave raise to 4@S, as the @DK is impossible to value|pg||
nt|mdgraham: in practice, it is huge|pg||
nt|raghavan: yes |pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: although there is something to be said for bidding more after Michaels or equivalent actions|pg||
nt|jstokes: nice job to get in by Garner-Weinstein -- looks like it will make with the spades favorable|pg||

nt|jstokes: hey Jack|pg||
nt|raghavan: Wc Jack|pg||

nt|Vugraphu8: weinstein's hand is pretty good after a raise at IMPs|pg||
pc|d7|pc|d2|nt|jstokes: I suspect Garner would Drury after a 1@S open, as they open quite light; that would get them to game anyway|pg||
nt|joest: I think that's light for Drury: even for them|pg||
pc|d9|pc|dA|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: weinstein's trying to figure out whether he'll have communication after the spades and whehter he wants to go down 2 if he doesn't play diamonds before trying to pick them up|pg||
nt|mdgraham: Hi Dan. Do you know if the other semi-final is playing the same boards?   |pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: I don't think so, but you can check by going to the other tables|pg||
nt|raghavan: Thai is what he is now thinking probably - play D and then SQ?|pg||
nt|mdgraham: or @SQ first. And what a lovely sight the @S10 will be, as the @S8 will become an entry|pg||
nt|joest: he's concerned probably about being able to draw trumps ending in dummy|pg||
nt|mdgraham: apparently they are.|pg||

nt|Vugraphu8: Garner: again I have the worst|pg||

nt|henryb: Robinson will gain 4 imps; perhaps one reason to play Multi is to stop partners from opening 2@d on hands like that|pg||
nt|mdgraham: 2@D is described as "weak, undisciplined" on the NS CC|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: you're not really preempting anything when you open 2@d|pg||
nt|raghavan: Jack - what do u say for 5DX -4 -|pg||

nt|joest: I think east west were going tomake a major suit game if they bid it.  And after 3@s they certainly were|pg||
pc|sK|pc|sA|nt|henryb: that is not true; having the opponents open 2@d is a moderately annoying interference|pg||

mb|p|mb|p|nt|joest: so let's see Kit's theory about these hands|pg||
mb|1N|an|15-17|nt|joest: Garner might enter with a multi 2@d|pg||
nt|raghavan: will EWland in 3NT or 4S?|pg||
mb|2D!|an|one major|nt|joest: either hearts or spades|pg||
nt|mdgraham: and now the doubling might start|pg||
mb|d|an|T.O force|nt|henryb: not even too expensive with those delicious heart spots and club honors|pg||
nt|raghavan: S may pass|pg||
mb|2H!|an|pass/correct|nt|henryb: but Stewart will not defend 2@h|pg||
nt|mdgraham: pass/correct one suspects|pg||
mb|d|mb|p|nt|henryb: pass says "let's play 2@d"|pg||
nt|joest: yes it is|pg||
nt|henryb: not a suggestion S wants to make|pg||
nt|joest: so might Kit be doubling this on a good four card holding?|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: I think pass is E/W's only plausible plus position left|pg||
nt|henryb: certainly|pg||
nt|joest: Stewart has to worry that he might have induced Woolsey to do this to some extent|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: He might make 3N|pg||
nt|joest: if he removes it will be to 3@h|pg||
nt|mdgraham: the thing is, is double of 2@H 100% penalty? Even if it is so defined, you can understand why East may be reluctant to stand it |pg||
mb|3D|mb|p|mb|3N|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|nt|henryb: from his point of view the opponents are very likely to have a nine card fit|pg||

nt|joest: these hands are not easy to play making there something to be said for 'taking the cash' back in 2@h  A very very difficult problem for east west|pg||

nt|Vugraphu8: even on a lucky layout it's not "cold"|pg||

nt|Vugraphu8: it was unclear to E/W whether 3@d was meant as forcing or non-forcing|pg||

nt|mdgraham: it might have been better to take that heart, before the defence can switch to clubs with @SK to come|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: if he just plays three rounds of clubs he's safe if they switch to spades and also has a chance to try diamonds later.|pg||

nt|joest: how much room will Weinstein give Garner?|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: is 2@s some sort of spiral or is it natural?|pg||
nt|mdgraham: not a bad idea to use 2N as an ask here, for min/max|pg||
mb|4H|mb|p|mb|p|mb|p|pc|dA|nt|mdgraham: 2@S should be natural, as there may still be a spade fit |pg||
nt|joest: 2@s is an artifical GF with them|pg||
pc|d7|pc|d4|pc|d6|pg||
nt|mdgraham: quite playable.|pg||
nt|mdgraham: or, of course, you can make a game try.|pg||
nt|joest: they rested in 3@h in the closed|pg||
nt|mdgraham: bid game, then try to make it.|pg||
nt|Vugraphu8: often when you play 2@s art, 2N in response shows spades. Of course here, they already know they have an 8+-card heart fit, so the responses are less about 3 or 4-card support|pg||
nt|joest: this is another example (and I count myself guilty) of opening 11 counts yourself but never giving your partner room when he does it!|pg||
