Hi Bobby,

I’ll ask before Jim2 does. Do you still bid the same way on BWTA if playing Drury when partner won’t have 4S and 5H? Presumably a simple 4S bid if he does start off with 2D (Drury) fits the bill nicely and also hogs the hand.

Regards,

Iain

I suspect you meant “Flannery” instead of “Drury.”

If so, it would appear I have made another convert!

Hi Jim2,

Yes, sorry – brain having one of those days!

Hi Iain & Jim2,

For those who sadly tend to forget Convention names should remember that “too much flattery can be dreary” or from an arithmetical tone to remember is as simple as 3,4,5
together with always a MAJOR issue.
