Strong club with a mini NT in first two seats

Nice!

We chickened out and dropped our 10-12 nt that we normally play in 3rd seat any and 1st/2nd white as we felt that the preemptive effect would not be favorable to the conditions of contest.

We are playing a strong ♣ with transfer oriented symmetric relay positive responses, 12-14 nt w/ keri, and 2/1 limited openers with Gazilli.

I think Josh (sohcahtoa) and I find that once every 2-3 bidding sets we're kept out of a bad game/slam based on the fact that responder knows how crappy our opening hand is :ph34r: It's sometimes tougher to handle freaks opposite 10-12 NTs though.
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

Additional question for those in the contest: how many pairs are established partnerships and are familiar with the system they are using?

We more or less "established" as we play several k hands online and quite a few live tournament. No serious work were done though (at least no work I would like to do in "serious" partnership).

After reading, what is it, 14000 jlall posts, I'm getting familiar with the system.

My partner sent me system notes (all of one page) one week before we bid. We have played off and on for many years and are both familiar with the methods we are using. (We may be the only ones familiar with the methods.)

Fairly new, regular partnership. My partner knows the system inside out , a lot of new stuff for me but I'm getting used to it and forgetting less each time we play.

We're an established partnership.

My partner and I have played together for maybe 4-5 years, but we do not play often. Live bridge maybe twice a year, otherwise on BBO.

Richard and I have played a lot of MOSCITO a couple of years ago (during my studies). This time we'll use a newer version, but some of the old stuff is still the same. Especially competitive boards will be tough I'm afraid.

Agusaris and I play precision with transfer responses to 1♣ and a lot of weird treatments which I forget all the time. We have played occasionally online for a couple of years and one weekend in Dublin, will be playing the swiss pairs in brighton also.
