How do you even see where the ball goes lol. On that note, am I old enough for lasik? A few years ago they told me I was too young.

When P bids 3♣ isn't he promising some strength ?If he has only ♣ and if he doesn't suck :lol: then wouldn't he pull the double?Whom should we trust P or Ops? What? lol? Partner will pull our double? Who does partner trust, opponents or us? The first double suggests 12+ hcp and short ♠ and tolerance for other suits.The second double if made ;) should suggest extra strength say 16 with probably an honor in ♠?P also knows that he has shown only 6-9 hcp and opponent have heard his ♣ call and yet they are bidding 4♠ .So he pulls dbl if majority of his hcp are in ♣ and doesnt if he has scattered values with something in red suits. Does this argument make sense? The second double suggests 4 tricks.

queen, not close.

What did east do wrong other than not open a marginal hand? West lost his mind on this one. 3H over 3D, and obviously 4H over 4C.

no reason to overrule partner

3N...

Is it MP?

How about 2H non serious :P come on, if you're e.g. 2533 you're seriously happy bidding 2♥? Yes?

500? lol...I mean I guess if the opps sucked I would insta double, but against anyone competent I bet -790 is more likely than +500.

lol at the thought of not bidding 4C edit: LOL

Nope, even if you had the entries to do it you are now losing 2 tricks to stiff honor onside. You should be able to guarantee 4 tricks unless it's QJxx offside or QJxxx somewhere.

Well in your actual hand you should definitely play the CQ next, and if clubs don't split you can fall back on the diamonds. In your specific situation without the hand I would hook only if: 1) the opps were bad 2) RHO played the 2 lowest spots. If RHO plays a spot that is not the lowest one and they're bad it just makes it too likely LHO has made a random 9 from J9x play (since RHO will not falsecard their spots if theyre bad). Basically just remember you are gaining very little in equity if you finesse and you're right (ie, even if they NEVER falsecard from J9x it's pretty close), but you are potentially risking a ton in equity if you are wrong (ie, they always falsecard from J9x it is not even remotely close). Also, VERY IMPORTANT, make sure they don't play udca.

How about 2H non serious :angry:

I play it as gwnn said. I am pretty sure meckwell play 2H direct as forcing, and a specialized NMF where opener doesn't have to show 4 card heart suits (for concealment purposes).

Pass and 2D when it came back around. edit: I meant 2H sry, retarded.

Even one way NMF does not force you to the 3 level (though it does force you to 2N rather than a 5-2 spade fit or 4-3 heart fit).

I would go off my rocker if someone did not invite with this.

lol

Sorry I never read this sub forum. I was referring to Hearts/Spades min/Spades max. Thats what kmb and I played and now I play it with jjbrr.
