P_Marlowe Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 3nt we are not doubled yet. There is a fair chance, that you get doubled in the next round. Marlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatrix45 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 :) PASSPartner is counting on you for 7 or 8 HCP and a small doubleton spade in order to make 3♠ a playable spot. This is, roughly, what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 I pass as well. Qx in clubs is an awful holding. I don't have a fit for partner. My Jxxxx of hearts is fairly worthless. RHO passed, so it looks like a misfit auction. Etc. etc. Last time I checked, partner's overcall even at the 3-level was NF. wtp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Pass. Is there really another valid choice? Winston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Pass, wtp? Marlowe The problem is 3♠ isn't game unless we are playng rubber and we made a partscore before. I would bid 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Pass, but it is close You need to know partner's style here. if he is a maniac, pass is clear. If he is solid, then 3N has real attraction: LHO isn't laying down the AK from AKxxxx in ♣, and, anyway, partner may help us out in that suit. If partner holds AKJxxx xx Kxx Kx, we run for 9 tricks in 3N, and even if he is weakish, they may not double and if they do, we may be able to run to a red suit (unlikely) or escape utter catastrophe in 4♠. But if he is the kind of player who overalls 5 card suits on 13 counts, then pass. BTW, after 3N, and P P double, what are we bidding? If you cannot answer that, pass instead of 3N. I like redouble to say: I have doubt: I'm not sure that redouble sufficiently expresses my doubt on this hand :P So I am a reluctant passer, thankful that we are not red.

han Posted November 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Let me tell you what I did at the table, but I am afraid that it is not going to be very interesting. I had this hand in an 8-board individual tournament on BBO, I was up about 20 IMPs after the first 5 hands. I chose 3NT, with the thought that the weak opponents were unlikely to double, and that the upside of 3NT was much larger than that of 3S. They led a club, partner had 10x and my Q won the trick. Good start, and I managed to take 2 more tricks for down 6. Partner didn't have much, I told you the story wasn't interesting. I think that pass is right when playing real bridge.

Guest Jlall Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 Pass, my hand is not very good with no spade fit and Qx of clubs and just 9 points to begin with anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
