It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.

Who is this masked man?
It is our own
Dave Glandorf
finalist the ABTA Master Point Press Teacher of the Year Award.
Dave did not win Master Point Press Teacher of
the Year this time but he should be proud to be among such viable
candidates. Maureen et al who attended the ceremony to cheer him on
certainly thought he deserved to win despite the fierce competition.
The nominee who won was also a finalist last year, so there is hope
& we can cheer Dave on for next year. The competition will be at
a national in TN in March of 2012. Hopefully many members of our
club can attend that ceremony next March & join in the
fun.
Check out this website that includes info & pics about the 2011 awards ceremony in Toronto. There is a good pic of Dave along with the other nominees, and there is also a picture of Dave, his wife Becky, club members Pat Harley and Maureen Viaclovsky cheering Dave on. When his name was announced, Maureen yelled "YAHOOO!!" in a loud Texas-style cheer and all stood up wearing cowboy hats and waving pom-poms in support of Dave.
At one point a person from Ft. Worth ran Dave down and made a comment similar to this: "I've been wanting to meet you as the CLBC teacher ... what are you doing down there cause your members sure beat the heck out of us often at tourneys!" What a compliment to Dave & his obviously superior teaching efforts! It was obvious that Dave was highly regarded among the bridge teacher colleagues (including Audrey Grant & Barbara Seagram, leaders in bridge book publishing).

Pass. With no assurance of a spade fit, you better stay low.
If opener had four spades and a nice hand, he would have "super-accepted"
by jumping to 3 spades and you would have been delighted to bid game.

On this auction, if you bid a new suit, it's game-forcing.
As South, evaluate your hand and decide what to do. Both sides are vulnerable.

Dave's Corner:
Responsive doubles would probably be less troublesome if they had a more descriptive name. Barbara suggested that a better name for them might be “you-choose” doubles. That is, these doubles give the advancer a means to say “Partner, you choose the suit.” Well, we’re stuck with the name “responsive” but, if it helps, think of it as “you-choose”.
