I'd bid 3H

From the first of Jinksy's problems:

Ugh really hate to pass here but think I would - chicken!

3s don't see the problem!

Tough 3d seems like an underbid but I don't see much of an alternative.

1n for me but kinda feel like I should x

2s for me

I worry that bidding 3s or 4h could get pd over excited so I settle for 3h but really not sure

better than u anyway

well i thought for a bit but decided to pass... LHO raised to 7! this was the full hand: https://app.pianola.net/Results/Session35567/Travellers/9

[hv=pc=n&s=sj8765hjt92d7ckj9&d=n&v=e&b=9&a=ppp2np6c]133|200[/hv]West very weak East very strong. 2n is 20-22 scoring =MP double or no double? is it close? thanks, Eagles

from BBF Tourny [hv=pc=n&w=saqj8h7da9832ca84&e=sk7hak83dkqt7ck75]266|100[/hv] East is dealer, opps are silent. Thx, Eagles

this has been a very interesting and informative thread for me, ty Jinsky for posting the hand :)

pd had J93 K74 A3 AKQJ6

Aren't we taking first 4 tricks?

haha well I bid 5c and thought it kinda obv to bid on, I see I even underbid according to most on here! However my partner wasn't amused when it went -1 :)

MP opp are best in room both sides strong and 5 [hv=pc=n&e=skt5hjdq8754c9732&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=pp1hd3hpp4cp]133|200[/hv]

Say our club holding was qxx we could still lose first 5 tricks or whatever. Non expert view but think 1n is beyond clear

If u saw who the voters were for 4s I think you'd revise your opinion. Still what do I know being a ”'club player at best" that should stay out of "higher level discussions" All the best mr hog Eagles

btw, probably the more interesting bit was the 4S call I put it on BW and virtually 50:50 between pass and 4s KJ8432 AT852 5 4

I also think 1N is pretty clear. pass looks so weedy and X looks all wrong

Thanks all my partner passed I thought it was overly negative but just wanted to check. as It happens we got quite a good score for 4s-2 with virtually everyone else in 5d-1 but 4sX-2 would've been even better :D Eagles

Hog you are being ridiculous [hv=pc=n&s=skj7h865daq54cj95&w=st42hq732d3ck8642&n=saq98haj9dkt87cqt&e=s653hkt4dj962ca73&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1nppp]399|300[/hv] ATB for missing 3nt: of course South however i guess we're all result merchants because this could've been the layout [hv=pc=n&s=skj7h865daq54cj95&w=st42hq72d93c76432&n=saq98hj9dkt87caqt&e=s653hakt43dj62ck8&d=n&v=0&b=1&a=1nppp]399|300[/hv] just because there is one freak layout where a contract makes or goes down doesn't proove anything at all

[hv=pc=n&n=sqt95hqjdacakt976&d=e&v=b&b=10&a=p4d4s]133|200[/hv] 4s was bid after a slight tank, but for all you know that could just be a slow connection. IMPS on bbo, pd is me opps are reasonable players somewhere between int-adv i'd say your call? Thanks, Eagles
