Interesting Play Hands / A great asking bid example hand
« on: August 13, 2018, 07:20:31 PM »
This is a pre-release of Roger's Finds #27  (as found in aaBridge)

You need to download and play the lin file.

When you do you will see a great example of an Asking bid sequence.  It is written up  for

   a)  NON OCP'ers  to get them to visualize the "answerers" hand.

   b)  for novice Asking bidders to decide what they would ASK next.

Interesting Play Hands / How to use the LIN files that Oliver adds to his posts

How to use the LIN files that Oliver adds to his posts

Very kindly Oliver has started adding lin files to his post in this forum.

If you download them (there is a link on each post) you can then play them on aaBridge  by dragging and dropping them on to an open aaBridge window.

            http://rogerpf.com/aaBridge

Windows users who also use  Chrome  have a very easy time.  You can click on the link to the lin file (as supplied by Oliver in his post) then when you see the file appear in the bottom LEFT hand corner of the browser window you can click on it and it will open in aaBridge.

OR  you can upload them to BBO and even step through them there!

Reading Oliver's text WHILE watching the play makes for a far more beneficial experience.

and again ty Oliver.

Interesting Play Hands / Oliver's Big Mistake
« on: September 13, 2017, 06:09:01 PM »
Oliver's Big Mistake

OK I fully admit that the title is just click-bait.   But Oliver was sitting South and DID play the wrong card.

As you will see it is hardly possible to find the correct card even double dummy.

However it is an amazing little  squeeze / throw-in / avoidance   -  you name it.   :)

FYI - Neither of 2 subsequent "best play by both sides" continuations that are given were actually played.

Please download and play the attached lin file.

Dealer Scripts / Fun Slam Bidding script

Fun Slam Bidding script

Attached is the script file and an example 40 hands for upload to BBO.

(you can of course just directly use the script on BBO).

The script will generate combined hands which are mostly around the 29 - 33 hcp mark BUT it will also throw an occasional low ball (23+)  to keep you on your toes.  :)

This script has no HOT seat, so both North and South are equally likely to have the highest hand.

For instructions as to how to use the script system see the post "pinned" at the start of this sub forum.

Dealer Scripts / Slam and Game Script for BBO
« on: December 22, 2016, 11:25:12 PM »
What follows is a copy of a post I made to the Cafe


Slam and Game Script for BBO

Principally for those new to BBO.  This simple script will generate marginal game hands possible slam hands and possible Grand Slam hands.

You can download a .doc with the script and clear instructions as to how to use it on BBO.

   http://rogerpf.com/public/aab/Slam_and_game_script_for_BBO.doc

OR   you can just copy and paste the script from below.

(The .doc contains more info and other variations on the script.)

# ===================================================

r1 =  hascard(west,2C)
r2 =  hascard(east,3D)
h  =  hcp(north) + hcp(south)
c  =  16 <= hcp(north) || 16 <= hcp(south)
Hi =  c && (31 <= h) && (h <= 32)
Me =  c && (29 == h) && (r1 || r2)
Lo =  c && (25 == h) && (r1)
condition   Hi || Me || Lo

# ===================================================
