jianantonicI don't even want to talk about bridge last night. Ugh. But I do want to mention one thing, just so I can get some opinions. I'm second seat in this auction. Mom and I have Jacoby 2NT marked on our cards.
1H - 1S - p - 2NT
WTF? To an overcall? What's wrong with 2H in that situation? You can't do Jacoby 2NT as a raise to an overcall, can you? I dunno, maybe you can. But still. If I only had 5 points, my mom's 13 aren't going to be enough for us to make 3S. For the record, I did have a big hand, so we could've theoretically been okay in 4S, except that the finesses are all off sides, which my mom should be able to figure out considering the look of her hand...anyway this was just the first in a string of horrible, awful, horrendous boards, and we finished the night tied for bottom. Who tied us? Ahren, of course. It was just a bad night for bridge.
Game time tonight is 7:30, but I don't like to skip the gym on Fridays, so my evening schedule is pretty tight. Normally if I go home after work, grab a bite and change for the gym, I can be there by 5:45, work out for an hour, and be home by 7 or 7:15. But that doesn't give me time to shower, eat dinner, and get back to town for the game. So today I'm prepared for something I've never done before - I'm going straight to the gym from work, and I'm going to shower at the gym. I've packed soap, shampoo, a change of clothes, and a big honkin' towel so hopefully I'll be as not naked as possible in the locker room. I've never been a person who can just be naked in front of others, even if everyone else is exposed. It just feels very weird to me, and I'm not comfortable with the idea. Anyway that's the plan. We'll see how it goes.
Peace.

2N = 11-15
3N = 14-17
is pretty much the value structure I have over one-level overcalls.
Good luck at the Sectional this weekend.
