Hi Ace, ... Yes, but I'm not why my statement needs correcting. 1st chair, after all, is a member of the set called "opps." So if he ruffs it, then it is...
... after ... it ... - - - - - - - - - Gm Rob, Dang me! And here I thought you were applying definition 2. of the unofficial jargon term, "opps," but you were...
The mathematical analysis by "bimbert84" is, as usual, unassailable. But here's another analysis, from a slightly different perspective, on which I invite...
While I can see the logic in passing with Natty as my partner, I can also see the fun of "sitting on next" as dealer with Natty as my LHO. Gerry Gerry Blue...
I know you guys, and I know your kind. If there is a dealer on my right with any semblance of sense and a trace of intelligence, I will on occasion call...
... This "1st opinion" (Mary, Mary) is merely a bit contrary. On hands Nos. 10, 11, and 16 the dealer would be "three trump, two-suited" picking up. "Three...
Hi Natty, ... Then clearly you cannot be trusted to call next. And if I, as your P in 3rd, cannot trust you to call next, I must therefore order with JJQ. The...

You seem to be overlooking the fact that in those 20 hands I called "next" only 13 times, on the way to our scoring 25 points. You can trust me. Atheist....
<scratching head> Natty, you're the most likely person I know to call next and if on average you do it only 65% of the time, passing with RLQ and a very good...
I'm with Patricia. If you don't have trump to lead when 3rd orders up, you'd best lead an Ace. On defense with only 1 ace, I would lead a loser to prevent a...
But on offense, you'd better lead an ace if you have one. If you lead a loser, I assume you have neither trump nor aces, and I rely on you for nothing but a...
Joe- "But on offense, you'd better lead an ace if you have one." If my only ace was the ace of the turn down suit, I'd lead a lone king of the other colour if...
81 per cent. The dealer picked up four times, remember? It wasn't Ace. If it had been Ace, and he turned down that 9 of hearts on hands Nos. 10, 11, 16 and ...
Ooops. Forgot there for a minute that we're talking about the average partner on Yahoo but the answer's still the same. I need that partner to lead trump or...
Hi Natty, ... So you're saying you won't always call next, ut maybe that's not the right question. Maybe a more appropriate question is: will you always call...
Hi Ace, ... I'll pick it up (nearly) every time with 3 trump, 2-suited. Yes, even if it's QT9t + T9. And yes, most of the time (but not every time) we'll...
... ALMOST always. There is one interesting hand among the 20 in which I and one of the two "experts" who agreed with me would have passed. That's No. 6: A-K...
i win i want to say 59% on yahoo, never had much trouble noticing what to call, 90% of the time im calling 3trump 2 suited, but if you have qt9 u need ...
On QT9 pickup, Ace must also be forgetting that 1st could have JJAKs, Ac. If it's black and I have 2 others, especially with an A or KQ offsuit, I'm picking...
i 100% agree, and this is why i usually only play with what i would liek to think of as students of our game, a crappy partner means ur gonna lose a lot more...
Hi Ace, ... Although it is a possibility, I wouldn't be overly concerned about it either. But... with QT + T9 + X, you have little-to-no defense or help in ...
My favorite though is when 2nd plays the R at trick 1 (particularly on your off Ace) and the opps cash LAK around your QT9 at 4th hand. ... it ... time, ... ...
Indeed, the very poll was inspired by two such hands I got in third chair -- in one game -- on Yahoo! Not knowing my partner, and with just enough experience...
