kfgauss Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 BAM, vul vs not, you hold A2 J95 AJ10 AKJ98 and deal.1C 1N P 2CX 2D P 2H? 2D shows 4+D (with fewer, LHO would pass the double)2H is both majors, weak (4-4 or better) Do you act? If not, would you act if none vul? Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 No. My hand has been already made clear to partner. Up to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Pass, I hope for perfect defense from me and p. ;) 3♣ is probably too high with the NT hand behind me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Pass No shape, no major fit. It's time to make a good defence ! ;) Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Presumably the X of 2C showed a) genuine clubs worth competing in and b ) extras. Therefore by my reckoning I've already bid my hand. I do have a lot of losers and a partner who rates to have zilch. So I pass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 I don't agree that I've shown extra values, but I have shown extra clubs. Partner can figure out the values part when they aren't in game, and if he can't compete I just have nowhere to go. This could be a misfit deal.

kfgauss Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Here was the full hand: [hv=d=s&v=e&n=sk9hak8dk9864cq42&w=sa2hj95daj10cakj98&e=sq10854hq76dq32c75&s=sj763h10432d75c1063]399|300|Scoring: BAMP 1C 1N P2C X 2D P2H P P P[/hv] 2H went down two, but the other table was in 2S making 3. West's double of 2C certainly doesn't show extras as far as I'm concerned, it just shows clubs (5 good clubs or 6+, I'd say). Would double now just be cards as all suits have been bid naturally? If not, what would double now mean? In any case, examples of hands where you would double here would be nice, given that very few people seem to be doubling on this hand. Also, should East be bidding 2S here (ie directly over 1N)? If none vul? Andy [Edit: seems we weren't dealer, but rather 2nd seat. This shouldn't change anything, though.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 no east shouldn't be bidding. An example of a X for me would include short hearts. As for getting to 2S after east shows both majors, and his pard is known to have 2-3 spades, thats just too tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
