For anyone interested, Atul (foobar) and I practice bidding some hands using the MOSCITO system. I will be sitting North throughout. For the first 20 hands, I’ll be dealer.

All bidding will take place in this thread. There will be separate threads posting the East and West hands. At the close of the bidding, we’ll discuss the resulting auctions (assuming that anything interesting takes place)
