Before we started playing T-Walsh, <snip>

Do you have a link to a full write-up of T-Walsh and continuation bidding? The Wikipedia link I posted in a different thread was shot down as really bad by a number of people.

If I were North, I'd focus on more basic issues like what a reverse shows.


Or how not to go off in a 3NT contract that is in the refrigerator regardless of which way the C hook is taken.

How do you marry your 2♦ fit jump here with Criss Cross Raise?
Although Criss-cross raises seem to have some merit, my 2/1 partners don't use them. Fit-jumps are also incompatible with the popular Flannery 2♥ and 2♠ responses to 1♣ and 1♦. "You pays your money ..."

This is consistent with that other thread where we debated how 1♠ 4SF should differ from 2♠. We extend it even further (minority treatment).


I don't recall that thread. Would you please post a link?

I am not smart enough to find keywords with enough letters in them. The discussion involved specifically:

1C-1D
1H-? and which of 1s or 2S was natural and which was something else.

Yeah, that keyword thing is really annoying. It seems bizarre that the software cannot handle 3-letter words.

You can try a google search for http://www.bridgebase.com/ "1C-1D" :)

O.K., here is the one I was referring to. There are others.

Frances' view is the same on both. Justin is strong in favor of 2S being freed up for some gadget, and 1S being presumed natural but definitely game force.

Am still not smart enough to find things, but fortunately Nige1 is.
