It’s not live. I delay by at least two days so others can’t watch and then play the same hands. (That’s how long the hands stay in the system for others to play) Sometimes it takes me a little longer than 2 days to edit / upload.
I will zoom in to your avatar next time I see it. I don’t think I’ve ever processed what it was. I think I had a hand with you in this video but it might have got lost in the power failure or I may have cut it out because it was a boring push.
It definitely is too strong for a strong NT but at board a match getting to game isn’t the only thing that you weigh in your decisions. Most aggressive games (18 opposite 7/8) are 60-40 or 50-50. So you aren’t giving up that much by going low. You can definitely get burned by opening 1NT with that hand but you can also steal a trick from being on the right side, or mess with the opponents who might lead a major after 1N-3N
Another fab video. I enjoy how you instruct. Excellent. Keep them coming.
Thanks Gavin good video
Love this series, very instructive as usual
Not sure if this is live, but nice watching you here. Good luck.

Decl on 9 took a first round finesse in diamonds, why, he could play the King first.
Board 11 robot should’ve ducked and stuck in the 9 with KQ9x of hearts, you would’ve ducked playing for Hx on your right
Absolutely. This is a flaw of robots. They assume you will make the right play, not the percentage play.
I'm not the best player but I have the best avatar! PearLake58

Not too strong for 15-17 NT?
