pbleighton Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Since my reaction is "2S, wtp?", I'm thinking there must be a problem :) Make it♠ KQT9753♥ T2D AKT ♣ 2 and I'd consider 3S. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blofeld Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 The question is whether to bid 2♠, describing our hand better, or to double, catering to partner having a penalty pass. Will doubling then pulling 2red to 2♠ show extra values? I'm inclined to think not[1], so I shall venture a double. [1] but I am exhausted at present. I may think differently when less tired.

Guest Jlall Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I would X. It seems quite likely partner is trapping, if he is not and has hearts he has no values (no neg X) in which case the opps would likely have bid more. If he bids 2H I can bid 2S.

Free Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 If partner is trapping, won't 4♠ make a great chance? How much will 2♣* go down? Won't they find a better contract? Where are all the ♥ on this deal? ... 2♠ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 i'd double here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Pard might be trapping, but my ODR is about 4 or 5, and that means attack. 2♠, thus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 [hv=d=n&n=shj8753dq62cat975&s=skt97532hqtdaktc2]133|200|1S-(2C)-P-(P)-?[/hv]Pard reopened 3♠, which was set by 2 tricks (4 spades and 2 hearts)Everything is badly divided in this hand, except diamonds.Overcaller holds Qx AK Txxx KQJ84, and would have likely been set by 2 tricks also.While S hand has mostly attack values, IMO a reopening double is best, holding spades. It would have been different with hearts, or with a better spade suit, I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 I think 3♠ is insane, 2♠ and X are the only options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Thanks for posting this in the forum. I learned something and I change my vote to x. It also has me thinking of similiar balancing issues, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Balancing is one of the grayest areas, or maybe one of those areas which are in flux. I'm also quite interested in these issues, soI'll post another problem which happened yesterday. Agreed that 3♠ is simply not there. A few years ago, I'd have had no doubt in balancing with 2♠. Now, I'm much more inclined to reopen with a double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
