Guest Jlall Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 If partner guaranteed 4 hearts I would just bid 3H. Not having that unusual agreement I would X which shows this hand perfectly and caters to 23(53) or 13(54). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 So if pard 'guarantees' 4♥, can I make a 2♥ call on 3?........ Even then I still double, if its interpreted as 'action'. Doesn't look like the hand to bid 3 over 3 with this ugly shape. But I'm not selling out to 2♠, and I want to give pard the option of passing, especially if he made one of those 3=4=3=3 doubles that I HATE :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Double. The only concern for partner at first is a 3-card heart suit but the double rectifies that - if I have enough to double I could have found a better bid that 2H on a 3-bagger.

Kalvan14 Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Ok, you double and the bidding goes: (1S)-X-(P)-2H-(2S)-P-(P)-X-(P)-3H-(P)-P-(3S)-P-(P)-? Apparently, LHO found a couple of spades on the floor :P BTW, we play very aggressive t/o doubles with the right shape, but it is pretty unusual to double 1♠ without 4 cards in hearts and without a clear rebidding.Therefore, I would assume that pard is 99% with 4 hearts. 2nd BTW :lol: : the game is MP - not IMP. I ticked the wrong line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
000002 Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 it's a dangerous marginal competition because of ♥ isn't broken ,and easy 3♠ making with ♠AKTxxxx+♣KQJ.IF i wanna a top score, i would take a risk to double again,it is 50% rate of success only since opp has certain 8 tricks based on west's 2minor Ace.

pclayton Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Pard has heard my double and LHO's 3♠ call. Do I have anything undisclosed? Not really. Pass and wait for the lead (hopefully not a heart from a broken sequence). SO whats the entire hand here? I'm interested - especially on what pard made a TOx on.

I ticked the wrong line.Pass. I've bid the entire value of my hand. No guarantee that it is our hand. Maybe partner has made a light double others didn't make and many played at 2S. Maybe our action kept them from game. Regardless, I've told my story and I'm sticking to it. ;) Winston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 After 2♠: if you play double as extras here, this is an obvious time to make that bid. This double guarantees 4 hearts, by the way (otherwise would have bid 1NT the previous round). After 3♠: pass, wtp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 [hv=d=w&v=n&n=s32hakj7dt95ckj65&w=sakjt76h9dkq8cqt2&e=sq4hq643d7432c743&s=s985ht852daj6ca98]399|300|Scoring: MP(1S)-X-(P)-2H-(2S)-P-(P)-X-(P)-3H-(P)-P-(3S)-P-(P)-X- allP[/hv] I doubled again (and this is clearly an action double): at MP, it pays to be somehow aggressive. As I expected, W did not have her bid, but was simply in love with her spades. Pard was minimum and balanced: again the bidding had shown (or at least hinted) to this. The contract was set by 2 tricks, which means that there was some breathing space, and we were not really hanging from a cliff with our nails.3♥ makes, btw.

pclayton Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Kalvan, how does 3♥ make (without some error by the defense)? The defense against 3♥ is really easy playing Obvious Shift. Q♠ lead, 10 by West asking for a ♦ shift. Declarer must duck. Now 3 rounds of spades tapping the closed hand - good luck making 9 tricks. I don't think it can be made even with 3 rounds of spades initially. Nice defense against 3♠ by the way. I think you were fortunate that declarer didn't have the 7th spade as advertised.

Kalvan14 Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Phil,Q♠ as lead, and shif to ♦ (declarer plays low). Now spade and spade again. Ruff in dummy with J♥ (I expect that RHO does not overruff), the A, K and x in trumps. Win the diamond return, draw last trump and finesse in clubs: 4 hearts + 4 clubs + A♦= 9 tricks.
