Let's do a forum indy?

It's been almost a year since the last one...
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

if kibitz allowed someone should provide some commentary too:). I think will be interesting to be a tourney with preloaded controversy hands from forum.
It's not what you are, it's how you say it!

I will set up some interesting hands for a tournament that will generate hopefully some forum posts.

How many? and when?

Let me explain some more ...

I have some code that I use to generate hands for practicing. The idea is that we spend a lot of time practicing tough hands on which there is potential for many IMPs to swing. Basically it selects hands based on strength and distribution - the more distribution the less strength is required.

I have used this idea in a face to face fun tournament run as a fundraiser which seemed to be quite successful.

I prefer random hands. I really don't like the "what could be the clue with this hand?" consideration.

we just need someone to set it up, who did it the
last time?
He should have a list of players ID.
If I remember it correctly, someone did also post
the list in a thread (Elianna?).

I would prefer the weekend, Saturday too Sunday.

With kind regards

Prefer random hands.

I will play if I am free, though I am not often free. Tuesday evenings usually work for me.
The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

No, I had nothing to do with it.
