with fit and max hand, i suppose opener is to make a forward going bid or rkc|pg|| pc|d9|pc|s9|pc|d3|pg|| nt|odysseus69: needs to decide to play for singleton club king with West or jack with East- he decided quicker than i could type|pg|| nt|jcomyn: wont beat italians horsing around|pg|| nt|mamos: I only have a slight advantage over East of course |pg|| pc|dJ|pc|d5|pc|sT|pc|d6|pg||

nt|stc: Many players accept the transfer only with fit - it is a big advantage for such hands|pg|| nt|psridhar: i suggest you play it as = i dont need any fit ; i need a control rich hand -either pure all aces and kings in 20hcp OR some source of tricks like KQJXX in side suit with opener ...|pg|| nt|psridhar: with controls outside|pg|| nt|stc: the price is that you risk be too high |pg|| nt|psyck: that is an interesting & sensible treatment PS. |pg|| nt|stc: do we have standings after first session ?|pg|| nt|Walddk3: http://www.israel-grand-prize.com/result/indi.php|pg|| nt|psridhar: the logic
