ooh, nice one Todd.

I chose 2c on that one hand because 3c was too weak, a cue bid was too strong, and I thought 2c was abou the middle. I should have considered that 4c total tricks thing
1S deserves more points for being standard.  :)

   On the Flannery  deal, I will resist to my dying day answering  pard's forcing NT with 2 !C  holding xx.  Still   I object to my reverse to spades scoring 30points less  than  the "equivalent" (in the sense of invitational values)  than the notrump raise----grrr.
   There are two or more to play Flannery 2 !D ,  this pattern being the most obvious.   The more subtle one is that opener is free to raise pard's 1 !S GUILT FREE with most opening hands shaped 3=5(6)=blah=blah.
  Kudos to the paneliists who honored pre-60's bridge and started with 1 !S   and shame shamon the plurality  that open a NOTRUMP with 9 majorcards.
