Hi again,
 
I didn't want to offend anyone by posting under the wrong subject, but if it's general that everyone using it's ok with me.. :)
 
Regarding your comment I can agree but I think that is for a well trained partnership, many people on the BC don't even use cue-bids..
 
 
1H - 4 H - 4NT - 5D - 6H.. I believe bidding like this is usally like a lotto draw..
For most people who would bid like above for sure should take a few minutes and learn at least Jacoby 2NT, RKCB 0314 and cue-bids.
 
www.msnbridgeclub.com have link to this page with 100's of conventions:
 
Jacoby 2NT:
 
RKCB:
 
Learning how cue-bid need a little bit more reading and I don't have any reference to it, but it's not complicated to learn.
 
 
And just a personal note about conventions;
I started play bridge when I was 14 years old and started play competetive bridge seriosly around 16-17 years old and played Junior national championship, Local and national teamleauge play etc.(Playing 2-3 times a week). I'm long away from being a top player but after 16 years play I learned something after trying learning and using every convention there is.. I tending to simplify my system, when you compete against experts you don't want to leave away to much information, it makes there card defending very easy...
