South looks like 5 hearts and no good sp stop something like Qx AQ98x KQJx Ax. Partner seems to signalling neutral if he is lavinthaling at all. I guess a diamond though this could easily give the contract but so can a heart or a club. This hand gives me a headache.

If it is invitational i still would be reluctant to pass with my clean hand so yeah 4 spades it is, also because this sequence is bad for gf hands with spades who must go through 4rth suit. Its forcing in most serious partnerships.

lol down again :o

3 spades.

I think this as a hand where you go easily wrong. I did anyway. PLaying one round of clubs before the spades meant one down. The east hand that did open one club: sp 1097 hearts Q876 dims KQ clubs KQ83. After three rounds of spades you play a club to the nine,east excits with a small club, you take the jack seeing west discard on this trick, cash the ace of hearts and throw east back in via ace and another club for a heart back.

If you start with the spades you find them 3-3. If you start with a club to the nine east takes with the king and returns the spade nine.

Think partner has 18/19 balanced and so would bid 4 hearts.

I asked on the non natural system section on the forums the meaning of this double and got this answer: 1♣ (1♠) X: Is a Mild positive response, 7-8 AKQ points: AQQ, KKQ, AK which would be G.F. since 1♣ promises 17+ hcp unbalanced and 18+ hcp if balanced.

Perhaps 5NT and then 6♥ on 6♦/6♣?! Trying to indicate the lack of spade control (no 5♠ bid)?! This sounds like a good try to me. And it doesnt risk much.

nothing wrong here i think bad luck

tx! <_<

Well im trying to find out if the double after: 1club(1spade) d is game forcing or not if assuming the double promises points. I was a little surprised to see a player ( Ricco van Prooyen playing with Louk Verhees )raise to six diamonds after 1cl (1sp) d (4 sp) 5 d (p) ?

Been searching but cant find meaning of double sorry. My guess is 4 or 5 plus since the player in question did bid six with this hand. Ricco van Prooyen playing with Louk Verhees against Israel for a match to determine the third pair for the E.C. in Oostende. Partner had A, xx, AKQXXX, Axxx , club queen right diamonds 2-2 tx for answers i would have passed this at the table.

tx will try

After due consideration i go with the trump lead.

north can bid blackwood.

Doe anyone know what the double promises in the ultimate club system when it goes partner 1 club ,1sp overcall (promising spades and clubs) , and you double that. game forcing? 5 plus points ? i cant find a system card for this system on the net. tx in advance!

[hv=d=n&v=n&s=s1093hkq10d9652ckj3]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] partner north opens strong club and r.h.o. follows 1spade ( promising spades and clubs), you double and l.h.o. jumps to 4 spades, partner bids 5 diamonds over that and it goes pass to you. Would you bid 6 ?

When i play in a generally weak field i tend to work my way down to end positions where i have only trumps left and the opps dont have any. Only then do i claim. This works most of the time.

The last movie which blew me away was the prestige by the same director (Chrispher Nolan) as batman begins , the dark knight and memento. Cant wait for his next film.

I m bidding 2 clubs.

Im also not convinced by the they must be close here posters. Double it is. If they are world class the happier i am for this opportunity.

Yes i know this is completely flippant but this seems to transfer the problem to my partner something the outrageous mr Rexford didnt succeed to do:)

double for take out and lets see where this leads
