what is a "skip double bluff"? i dont think any such thing exists. E should not stop after blind-playing w1 or g1, and the reason for this is because C did not react to A's m2 clue in any way, which means C must see m1 on finesse position (or layered) somewhere. since E is the only player ...

i included that link just to better explain what "connect" means, in case i wasnt doing it clearly enough. it might direct u to a Hgroup document, but that doesnt negate anything i said previously. i have played a lot of games on various websites (including BGA) where bluffing out an diffe...

b1 doesnt connect to 3 (it only connects to b2), so alice's clue is a bluff rather than a finesse if possible. Cathy's Connecting Principle explains this idea a bit more clearly. for r3 a bluff is possible, for other 3s it is not possible (because no other 3 is a valid bluff target). this is why, ev...

both very easy questions!

if cathy does nothing, donald assumes he has r3 exactly.
if cathy plays (say a g1), donald assumes he has any 3 except r3 or g3.

i agree with u that 3 Bluffs are not valid bluffs on BGA, they are only allowed in Hgroup. but i think u misunderstand what a 3 Bluff is. a 3 Bluff is clueing a two-from-playable 3 (with either color or number) and making an unrelated card blind-play. as i said before, this is not legal as per BGA c...

If C does nothing, D will bomb looking for b2 because he thinks his 3 is blue. D shouldnt think they have b3. since 1 doesnt connect to 3, D (and everybody else) should assume a bluff over a finesse if possible. if r1 is already played, it IS possible because r3 is one-from-playable. if r1 is not a...

i agree with your overall premise that PDB is more useful and more common than PrDB, but i think ur 3rd example needs a bit of correction based on what cards are played before A's clue. if r1 (and no other card) is already played, then B blind-plays b1. amazingly, C needs to do nothing more! since b...

imo the r3 clue u described has a very huge risk - what if cathy decides not to play r1 (just marks her 1 as r1 and her finesse slot as r2), but tries to bluff donald's y1 with a clue of her own? the team will become severely desychronized from each other, and it is very difficult to recover from su...

i think the correct term for this is a Pestilent Finesse . usually this kind of clue is given from Bluff Seat (by mg6 in this case), and there it would only make r1 & r2 play but nothing more after that. juicy knows their 2 is NOT r2, and they can have any random card in slot2. the fact that the...

thats incorrect imo. if it can be a bluff, it is a bluff. bob responded to alice's clue by blind-playing a card. 1. bob did not play a 3 (nor k5) - he played a 2, which does not (directly) connect to our 4. so alice's clue was a bluff not a finesse. (this idea is explained a lot better under the Cat...
