fyrish

Declarer played a club from hand and asked dummy to play a spade even though there were still clubs to play. Dummy was the only one who noticed and pointed out the situation to declarer. One of the defenders objected that dummy shouldn't draw attention to an irregularity. Is this correct? If so what should happen (should the card be changed?)and how should dummy be penalised?

Thanks Aberlour. Well done everyone. Looking forward to Euro 2012.

I'm a lurker. I feel I have learned a huge amount from reading posts, but I don't have a lot to contribute. I do admire people like Jillybean who ask the kind of questions I'm afraid to ask.

[hv=n=skq109hdc&s=s87632hdc]133|200|[/hv] You play small to the King, losing to the Ace. When you play small towards the Queen, LHO plays low. Should you finesse now? Also, if like me you don't know, how should you work it out at the table?

I thought that playing 2♥ as "catch-all" meant a hand not suitable to bid a new suit, raise partner or bid NT. This hand can rebid NT comfortably (for me 12-14 or 18-19). If you don't open 1NT with a 5cM then you have to do it differently I suppose. I've no idea what is standard as I live in Acol land.

Interesting - 10 replies, 5 say take out, 5 penalties. I thought it was penalties and had to go back to team mates with -1070. Probably partner shouldn't have bid it and I should have taken it out just in case.

LHO opens 1♥, partner overcalls 1NT. RHO bids 2♦. LHO bids 2♥ and partner dbles. Is this take out or penalty? (1♥) - 1NT - (2♦) - PASS (2♥) - X Opps are vul, imps.
