At 20:55 Yes, confusing. I had to pause and rewind several times to grok the nuances of your deduction regarding Responder's 2H bid (actually, the key is what he DIDN'T bid). So East is saying "Partner, you showed a minimum opener. I'm also minimum. But very distributional, so either pass or correct - I'm not bidding again!" As West I would expect East to be 5-5 or better in the majors with all his hcps (likely only 5-7) concentrated there. Am I right? This was quite a bit higher level and a much more difficult challenge than all the preceeding content of this video, which was very basic.
Hey there. So sorry I posted the wrong link. I have updated it in the details and also here it is for you; bridgelesson.com/bq061423/ Thanks so much for the heads up bob.
Hey Rob! Big fan of the channel. The last 3 weeks of the Bridge Quiz have all had issues with buffering and taken a very long time to load for me. This is not an issue I have normally with your videos like the Wednesday Morning tournament. Any ideas what might be happening here? (I have tried decreasing the quality and it doesn't seem like the issue is on my end)
As far as I can tell, the robots (the basic ones at least - I haven't played against the advanced robots) don't make standard leads, don't return their partner's lead, don't recognize or give attitude or count signals, nor do they signal with any discarding method. They also false card, following with highest of equals almost every time. This makes it useless (actually, counter-productive to learn how) to try to infer anything from their opening leads or carding. Other than having complete memory of all 52 cards so they know what's been played (every damn pip!), I don't find playing against the robots very useful as practice for playing humans.

UA-cam doesn't compress livestreams for a few hours after. Try watching them the next day (I need to as well)
@@puffinbasher Thanks, that makes sense but isn't the case with the Weds Morning tourney?
I get some issues with that one too...
