I would like to find one or more partners for online play. I typically play 9-11PM Eastern Time (USA).

1. I would like to use the 2/1 system presented by Mike Lawrence in his books and CD. I don't care if its not the theoretical best, what I want is agreements. It's not fun having fundamental bidding misunderstandings (sorry pard, I thought your double was for take out, I didn't realize it was a penalty double).

2. I would prefer using a smaller set of conventions that we both know thoroughly, rather than lots of conventions, that tax the memeory (esp. with multiple pards) and rarely come up. For example, I don't consider Minor Suit Staymay and 4 suit transfers indispensible. You want to use Inverted Minors, what are all of the sequences and meanings if the opps overcall? Using Jacoby 2NT what does 1S - 2NT - 4D mean to you? (is it a void or a good 5 card Club suit)

3. I very much want to use a set of defensive carding and signaling conventions as similar to those advocated by Eddie Kantar in Modern and Advanced bridge defense. Agreements like "when is a signal Count (or Suit Preference) rather than Attitude (or Count)". Be aware there is a whole set of these. I'll try and summarize them in a document.

I rate myself an Intermediate Plus player and am looking for Intermediate Plus or above partners. I would rather work on counting/visualization than complex bidding sequences.
