But you complained about how easy they were on most of the hands! :P

Did you realice how easy those hands would be with the Balicki-Zmudzinski extra bit info? Those guys are a real fake.

Yes Gonzalo, thanks.

Always fun to see real life hands. It's easy to get into a groove on the forums when someone posts a hand to do something unusual because if the normal play or call would have worked the hand wouldn't have been posted.

I expected more participation I guess people had no strong convictions, or their thoughts were already mentioned.

I did not participate to most of them because I knew the hands. Most of them were discussed in close Turkish group. The ones I replied were the ones that I did not know. Still these were the topics interested me the most in BBF in recent years.

Thank you Fluffy. Your judgement problems are instructive. Their difficulty might deter participation. I got many wrong but learnt much. For example, l deduce that I don't double enough.

Thanks for the threads Fluffy; they were fun. I mostly lurk but I would love to see more of these, so I'd better speak up

Don't draw conclusions so quickly, I picked up problems where I considered doubling and it would be right, where I doubled, or where we got a lot of downs out of nowhere.

But the sample is missing hands where I though about doubling slightly, and rejected it, and it would be wrong to double. Those hands weren't easy to find and I was not analyicing all of them when I posted the problems.

I thought about every one of them, just didn't have a lot to add to the discussion on most problems.
