If you reach the top spot, that would be a tip off to the fact that you cheated, so why bother

Default Just in case...

I am inquiring about opener's bid on board six. What does opener's partner think the bid shows?

Their agreement is to play 2 as multi. However his partner realizes that he typically forgets this and instead usually shows up with 6 diamonds and something short of an opening bid. Hence the raise to 3.

Captain Nemo are trying to finish today, since AO rules may prevent us from commenting on partner's bidding tomorrow.

I don't understand - "creative" and "imaginative" are intended as compliments, right?

We're done.

I'll guess that hand 3 came up on BBOnline, since you didn't replace it this week.
