Checkback Stayman
It's not the auction that counts, it's the reasoning: G (in spec): club rebid does not make sense Questions for Discussion However:
Questions for Discussion Comments
My head is spinning and here's why ....
The hands and discussion presented today involving our "expert" hero
are absurd.
In one of our enlightened chats Gee told me that he was a genius therefore
to not underestimate his intelligence. I believe Gee and I don't underestimate
him. He continues to live up to my expectations at every turn.
I have heard that genius people go crazy dealing with the absurdities
in life. What I haven't heard is whether geniuses are accredited with
creating many of the absurdities in life? If so, then would a real genius
recognize his absurdities, go crazy, create more absurdities, go more
crazy and eventually spiral out of control (into oblivion)?
We need to make allowances for the geniuses of the world and appreciate
them for what they can offer; absurdities, insanity and all. Geniuses
have minds of infinite proportions that just can not be bothered with
nailing down the trivial details of life (or bridge).
Sounds like the start of the re-make of "A Beautiful Mind" ala bridge.
As much as I want to trust Gee, for some inexplicable reason the words,
"Gerard," "expert," and "genius" still have an incongruous feeling to
me.
Aaron, as usual, you lie, you misrepresent everything
on the sole purpose to make me look like a fool. Firstly, checkback Stayman
is not my invention. I don't have my personal treatment of it, contrarily
to what you want everybody to believe. Secondly, in the first auction
there is a denial of both majors with 2D. 3C is not a checkback Stayman.
I still don't know what it is except probably showing a long club suit
and preference for game in C versus game in NT. You carefully suppressed
the lines in between that lead to my comments, but this is not the first
time you do that. You are very deceptive, Mister! In the 2nd auction,
I am showing 4 spades, denying 4 hearts and 3C is checkback Stayman only
as a product of your delirious imagination.
Now my question is: why do you spent so much time trying to belittle
me, harrassing me, humiliate me? My take is that you are doing that because
1) you have nothing else to do, 2) you are a nobody and it gets to you
and 3) since you don't have anything positive to offer, your only way
of "shining" is to try to bring others down to your own level. I feel
sorry for you.
On another subject, you reported in your so called columns a discussion
we had, you and I, about a squeeze play. That discussion never happened,
it is a pure invention of your imagination, and I don't care if what you
wrote makes me look good, it is all false. On the same token, you reported
questions asked by justinl and shotgun. They never asked you these questions.
So I will conclude this by telling you and your readers that you have
no integrity. You are just a wannabe writer, columnist and website designer,
but you need higher standards to make it in the big city, and you are
not even close to par on that. The famous websites that you manage are
just a bunch of pages that you put up for yourself. I don't believe you
have any client. Should I now talk about your quality as a bridge player?
not much to talk about there either... So, my dear Aaron, make friends,
not enemies, stop your BS and maybe things will get back to normal in
our relationship. Meanwhile, for all the reasons I mentioned earlier,
I do not accept a challenge by you at the bridge table until these columns
about me either stop or stop being a character assassination of me. Show
yourself as a gentleman, and then we'll talk, but not before.
This is actually an exact reprint of what happened in spec. I remember
who specs 1, 2, 3, and 4 were, and I was one of them. So basically, I
confirm Aaron's story.
Ax AJxx xxx AKxx, Ax Kxxx Axx AQxx are 2 hands where there is play for
6 Clubs. Adding the JC in the first hand actually makes it a favorite.
It doesn't mean that I approve of 3 Clubs but there are some hands which
can make 6 Clubs.
You are a good writer. You make Gerard "come alive" and you give both sides to a story. I
like that about you. People do not see both sides to the Aaron-Gerard story. Thank you, Aaron.
