Wow but to me there seems a real uptick in illegal play.


1) First we had the Italian incident.
2) Then Roland's posts
3) Now last night I asked not one but both opp about their bidding and got zero response.
4) response so far..illegal..what illegal? sigh

Oh no, first the L-B and now your BBO opponents!
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

Its not infrequent that I ask established partnerships about a bid or carding (I ask specific questions, not "what is your carding") and they refuse to answer.

One jerk actually refused to answer me, and would only tell my pard. :unsure:


When I sit I type "we use 2/1 standard count/attitude O/E discards and 4th best leads".
I almost never see the opponents make similar statements.


Against pick up partnerships I don't expect much since they almost never have agreements.

you'd enjoy playing online a lot more if you stopped playing against random idiots in team matches with pickup partners. I have absolutely no sympathy for you whatsoever as you seem to just seek out these bad matches/situations.

First the French Connection.

Then the Blues Brothers.

But, Boy! You shoulda seen my drive to work this morning!
"Gibberish in, gibberish out. A trial judge, three sets of lawyers, and now three appellate judges cannot agree on what this law means. And we ask police officers, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and citizens to enforce or abide by it? The legislature continues to write unreadable statutes. Gibberish should not be enforced as law."

Fair enough, but if you were a statistician you would have a lot more sympathy for random people :(
