Especially in the minor suits, bidding slam was a bit of a guess because we didn't know the location of the trump Queen.<BR/><BR/>We now use Kickback Turbo in almost all our slam auctions. We usually get good results, accurate cuebidding, and it's imo more precise than RKC followed by some asking bid. (for example you can still ask for a 3rd round control, or "something extra")<BR/>However I have to admit that we sometimes struggle when one of us has a void. It's not always clear for one player or another to know if there's a void in play or not, you can't always show it, partner still shows his keycard in that suit,... Sometimes RKC would be more useful, but it's as good as impossible to combine both conventions.<BR/><BR/>At the moment, I feel very comfortable and happy with Kickback Turbo. I sometimes wonder how Fantoni and Nunes can manage with the standard version of Turbo in all their auctions.Freehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15121114182464630256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26947137.post-87932153998591908422007-08-14T17:03:00.000+02:002007-08-14T17:03:00.000+02:00What's your experience of Turbo?

I have the greatest respect for Fantoni (-Nunes) but I don't think that's a convention that serves most players.<BR/><BR/>Have you seen the Parity KC on my blog?<BR/><BR/>/Ulfulvenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13711417973388995714noreply@blogger.com
