adhoc3 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Playing with random PD in the lobby. [hv=d=w&v=n&w=saqjt9hxdjtxxckjt&e=sxha98xxda98xxcxx]266|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] 1♠ DBL 2♦ 4♥5♦ pass pass DBL// While Norther doubled pd's 1♠ opening, I decided to hide my ♥ and show ♦. Seems it's too good news for PD that he run to 5♦. Somehow frustrated, I had to admit it was a good contract. The leading was a small ♥. Finally I put ♠K on the wrong side (my big fault), 5♦-1, that's not too bad score, just small negative imp. I can't complain about PD's decision (he had a hard time) not only because I messed up a makable contract but also for there could be a slam if no wastage in ♥ honor. However, it's very uncomfortable: we took -100 when we could made 500 or 800. Any comments?

They did what they want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 2♦ is a reasonable bid, but once you believe that N has ♥ (as all the table believed ;) ) I would not even bid 2♦: pass and wait for further developments.2♦ is not pre-emptive, and I do not see what particular advantage might bring.It is quite likely that S bids 4♥ all the same (and it would be God's punishment for N's sins). At least 800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 What do you want from the guy? His pard bid 2D and he has 4 of them and a stiff. You can't always achieve the best result, especially when the opps are insane (you can take less inferences). I don't understand bidding 2D. If I were going to bid with your hand I would bid 2H with the hopes of finding a heart game. I'm not sure what target bidding 2D is hoping for.

adhoc3 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I'm not sure what target bidding 2D is hoping for. sounds reasonable. Actually 5D was what I indeed want, interesting. Attractive quiz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Ignoring such a good heart suit just because an opponents doubled is not a good idea imo. Incidentally, I would bid 2♦, transfer to hearts :P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Ignoring such a good heart suit just because an opponents doubled is not a good idea imo. Incidentally, I would bid 2♦, transfer to hearts :P. Playing transfers it's possible to transfer to diamonds and then bid hearts even. However I agree a 2D transfer would be better because A) if the opps bid over 2C(transfer to diamonds) you would not get to show the hearts. B ) If partner bid 2S over 2C you couldn't show the hearts. C) Even if you do get to show them, you will only be promising 4 of them.
