Woah! Congratulations - 65% is pretty darn good! My wife & I bid a modified KS with 12 to 14 point NoTrumps. Would we fit in with your club?

(I have always hear that English ridicule Americans for their security blanket of the 'strong' no trump... I am assuming your are English from the url.)[/QB]

Thanks ! Even though I live in UK, I learned bridge when I was in Texas (Austin). So we play "modern Standard American" - 2over1 GF.
Most people here still play Acol (4card Majors, 12-14 NT, strong twos). I suspect our bidding system gives us more tops than my card playing ability deserves. People very often play in NT with 8-card fit in majors or wind up in 4-3 fit. You would do very well playing Kaplan-Sheinwold !

Do you think your bidding system confuses your opponents or do you think it is superior? I once knew someone that was planning on learning ACOL and I once faced a couple of guys at a regional that were playing something based on it (I think).

4 Card Majors ---UGH!

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.

There you have it. It's not SciFi, it's not the SEIV game... It's Mottlee's avatar!!!

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...
