nickf Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 you hold: [hv=d=n&v=&s=shaxxdakxxxxcqxxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] partner deals and opens 1S and you respond 2D (promising 5). Partner bids 5NT and you reply 7D and it goes pass pass double. Your call. nickfsydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 easy XX. RHO is asking for a spade lead, and I'm void. It's important to punish lightner Xs when you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 easy XX. RHO is asking for a spade lead, and I'm void. It's important to punish lightner Xs when you can. Punishing the lightner X is actually not my most urgent reason for redoubling. I want to protect partner from running to 7NT. (I just hope that the opening lead with ruff and overruff doesn't turn out to be a trump promotion.) Arend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 If I was to ever redouble a contract at the 7 level, this is it. Assuming pard is sane when he bids 5NT of course.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finch Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 When I saw a hand very similar to this, it was -AxxxAK98xxQJx But I agree with the redouble (on either hand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickf Posted November 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 When I saw a hand very similar to this, it was -AxxxAK98xxQJx But I agree with the redouble (on either hand).you're probably right Frances. It was given to me by a mate who got it from his team mate from the Lederer. This guy was staying with an ex-pat bridge player in London so the hand has probably done the rounds and got mixed up in the translation. nickfsydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Yes the hand was like Frances presented it. Redouble indeed. Looks like this one went around the world in 80 minutes :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
