1D on your left (Acol so this is very likely LHO's longest suit), round to you, you X presumably, even in a mixed pairs.  Partner bids 1S.  Your turn again.  You would like to hog if it's reasonable, but not if it's absurd.

You may not be sexist, but I am when it comes to bridge, so tough.

Me Tarzan you Jane -attitude will do nothing good to your chances to do well in the event.

To say nothing of your chances to do well after the event.

Playing with my girlfriend I would pass now (although I would not have doubled to begin with).

1NT and 2♥ get me into trouble after the game.

If I bid 2♦ I might be able to win the postmortem but I'd have to play it there first.

If I pass there is a chance that 1S= beats 4S-1.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

May I assume she does not read these fora? Is the doghouse comfortable?

Is it really not obvious that he is just mocking the OP?

Edit: Also his gf is known as one of the best women players in the world and would be considered by most (including himself probably) to be a better player than he is heh.

No it wasn't (but my reading comprehension is not world class)
To be fair, in a vacuum not even hanp's post would be obvious to me.

i think it's a tricky problem in any circumstances. i had the responding hand, ironicially given what I said about sexism, but the auction was different at my table.

anyway partner's hand is J9xxx Jxxxx x Qx - this was suggested to be a 2D bid, but looks far too weak imo especially minus a mythical king.

spades are 4-1 so 4S is off, but 4H makes.

the player who actually had the hand is a very good but equally sexist player and passed 1S, but they got to 4H as opener backed in with 2D. personally i would have bid 2D though consider it marginal even in protective. on the other hand, one of my friends, a silver medallist from beijing bid 1NT and considered it a non-problem.

1NT rightsiding NT contracts. And I do not feel I'm hogging.

My hand is perfect except for my dubious stopper in diamonds.

We should always assume 2/1 unless otherwise stated, because:

- If the original poster didn't bother to state his system, that means that he thinks it's obvious what he's playing. The only people who think this are 2/1 players.
