Nothing more. Simple query about clarification on how to bid this system
Would be grateful for any assistance on how you identify a spade fit versus NT in this system, without any personal attacks and putdowns please
Some went to 3NT, some to 4S, some used FSF and found a partial fit and didn't know which way to go
Simple informational query
Everyone has opportunity to answer constructively without any personal insinuation
An opportunity to be respectful, and nice and friendly and constructive without any obnoxiousness
I will offer my (non-expert) opinion but the difficulty in finding such an easy fit in such a widely used system is concerning. Such a simple auction
Half the field took the gamble on 4S, half on 3NT and one tried FSF and had to guess on 3NT/4S based on 7 or 8 trumps. What kind of system is that
You can be left hanging or in t he dark. and IMO that is pathetic. That is not personal either
How do you determine whether you have a nice spade fit or a disastrous 3NT. That is not personal either. I have a right to know. A major bidding system that I pay to use
I may not be Bob Hamman but I have the right to say that I think such a basic thing is pathetic
Shall I bid spades again, clubs, shall we gamble on having 8 spades or risk going game with only 7. Shall we go NT risking shortness in diamonds
How do we get there
Put that hand through a few different systems too
May post another. Same tourney. Nice club fit totally goes missing
Its not personal so don't dare go personal against me
