I would quite like to set up a bidding practice room where one partner can see all 4 hands but the other partner can only see his own hand (until the auction is over). The player who can see all 4 hands throughout also would have the option to interject opposition bidding.

This seems like a major change. Perhaps something for Fred to consider in his new major rewrite?

I believe this option already exists. It is called "go to a teaching table and have one player put 3 post-it notes on his screen to cover the other hands."

Predeal the hands and have one player load the new one each time. Clearly he will then be able to see the ahnds he is loading.

Thanks for the replies. I cannot see how to deal random hands with constraints using either of the suggested methods, but will keep trying.

I am interested in a similar thing for bidding/playing full deals.

Me too, replaying Lin Files would be great.

Justin's suggestion is fine if you are using saved hands or have third party software for generating hands in lin format with the imposition of constraints on the random deal. I have neither.

I remain of the opinion that my original suggestion would constitute an improvement. The suggested workarounds appear to fall short of that suggestion in one respect or another.

teaching tables guys.

Hi Justin,

I tried to load prepared deals to a teaching table,
but I was not able to hide 3 hands, ... I wanted to
train with my partner bidding and play.

Of course JDonns suggestion use "Postit's" on the
screen, altough made in jest, works, but there has to
be a better solution.

With kind regards
Marlowe
