Fluffy Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Vulnerable at IMPs we all would at least try for game, but we are at MP here, what's your bid?[hv=d=w&v=a&s=sk8xxxhk9dakjxcaq]133|100|Scoring: MP W - N - E - Sps-ps-1♥-1♠ps-ps-2♥-Xps-2♠-ps-??[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 2N. Partner doesn't know my hand is this good. I would have Xed first. I'm a fan of bidding my long suit immediately but you have to draw the line soemwhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I would have doubled first, but fortunately I got a second chance to show my powerhouse. Hope 2NT gets that message across. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Wow you both would had doubled first, but if picked 1♠ would try 2NT now. I wonder why is there then 0 votes for doubling first AND only 1 for 2NT later :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walddk Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Maybe because we didn't vote but just voiced our opinions. I'll vote now if that makes you feel better :P Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I also would have doubled first - and I voted too :P Pd will never believe you have this much if you overcall. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 i'd have doubled first also, but now i'd pass 2S (at MPs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Dbl first, the ♠s are rubish! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trpltrbl Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Now that I am forced in this situation, I would bid 2 NT.But I think generally most would double first and then bid NT to show big hand.And your ♠ are not really worth mentioning. You have 5 of them but that's about it. GBB :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Pass. I don't see how I'm going to make game without two entries in dummy. I don't believe I have them, so I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Dbl first, the ♠s are rubish! :) Same, too much power for simple overcall Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omeroj Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I vote other because i want bid x and then again x..or 2 !S...not 2nt for bal 18-20..but i give this hand only with dbl and again dbl or 2 !S. Omero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I double first - and its a power double showing 15+ Having overcalled, I now pass and I hope I make it. I'm not at all confident about a fit or the 3 level. Pard can easily have a 2=4=?=? yarb. Pard passed our 1♠ call. He either: doesn't fit spades, doesn't have anything or both. I'm sure I'll get a heart trick on the lead, but how many times am I reaching dummy to do my business in the minors? RHO will get endplayed at least twice on this hand, but is that often enough to make game? As far as NT is concerned, RHO has a trick source in hearts and they will have the tempo from the opening lead. Where is OUR trick source? This is a nice picture gallery, but I can't see 9 tricks with a hand that passes 1♠. My best excuse for bidding it to try to ferrent out a 4-4 diamond fit, but I'll take my chances on the likely 5-2, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
