Elianna Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 [hv=d=e&v=n&s=satxxxxxhqxdckqxx]133|100|Scoring: MPRHO deals, opens 5♦. Your bid.[/hv] This is a averagish club field, your partner is an optimist, but not insanely such. RHO seems not too insane, either, but not too good.

P_Marlowe Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 5S. It may or may not make.Playing MP, you will have to getit right, probably 5D is not bidon the other table, so they mayhave already killed the score. Marlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 5♠ This is more or less a random situation, but I'd rather get my zero being aggressive than my average minus being passive. After all, aggression may get me a top, and (over the long run) makes one a tougher opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalvan14 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 5♠, w/o a lot of confidence. It's quite likely that RHO fixed me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker_gib Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 5♠ At MP, if I go for a phone number, this will only be a zero. The same zero I can collect if I pass ! Alain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Very tough problem - but acting at the 5 level rates to be with a marginal hand. There's a couple of conflicting bromides here: 1) The hand short in the preemptor's suit acts first versus 2) The 5 level belongs to the opponents. One of the main problems with 5♠ is that if pard has the type of hand you need to make 5♠, partner is probably bidding 6, even moreso since LHO may dive in 6♦ with the appropriate hand. At other tables, RHO may open with a lesser ♦ preempt. This hand has a routine 4♠ call and can control the auction. Is making 4♠ 100%? Far from it, but its still a routine call. So I have to guess here and I'm guessing to let them play and stay fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Very tough. I voted 5S and feel better now that I see I'm not the only one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 PassI don't think this hand can make a 5 level overcall, I would bid 5♠ if pd reopens with a double. I pass if he reopens with 5♥ he may have 8 hearts and 1 spade and my 5♠ overcall will kill him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
