<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, there's 2% voting as neither. So a message for any alien beings that are true hermaphrodites, any pure energy beings, or pure AI entities on this board:

If you can reproduce by yourself, Isaac Asimov said in "Foundation And The Earth" that you are defined as female.

So answer up, we can't hurt you through cyberspace.

Maybe you can soften it up a bit... you know, put some flowers in the 'ol ribcage, or spruce it up with some pastel colors... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Stone Mill,

How do you manage to play spades without cursing and trashtalking your in-laws?

Especially the cursing part!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think it is because Acol and other 4-card Majors suffer in competition. In unopposed auction there is no much difference.
Suppose your partner opens 1S (may be 4 cards), RHO overcall with 2C or 2D. If you have 3-card support should you raise or not ? If you decide to play responsive doubles to ammend this problem (double shows 3 spades while 2 spades shows 4 cards), how to show 4 card heart suit ?? On the other hand weak no trump, escpecialy when non-vulnerable against vulnerable can be a killer. Yesterday we were cold for vulnerable 3NT. I had flat 14 points in forth seat, LHO opened 1NT, CHO passesd, RHO bid 2h (transfer), I passed, LHO bid 2S, pass, pass to me. I passed. We set them 2 for +100. Par result +600. CHO had 11 count with 5D. We play ASTRO and the only way for her to show her hand is to overcall 1NT with vulnerable 3D which is obviously insane. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

+100 when game is cold... I HATE it when that happens. (Unless I am going down in which case http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I have often wondered about learning 4 card majors... then I come to my senses.

I actually threatened to learn Culbertson.. I have 3 of his books (red, blue, & gold), but bidding has come so far, it is useless to bother.

Do you have any budding converts to 5-Card majors?
