benlessard Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 You must be on heavy medication to bid 3nt on that 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Double, unless I have hopes to arrange a money game against RHO. Arend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Double. Hopefully pard lacks the imagination to lead anything but a trump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 my first double said i had interest in defending... i'd double fully expecting a trump lead.. they could be in very deep doo doo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blofeld Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 At the table my imagination was suggesting ways that 3♦ could make on a cross-ruff, leading me to eschew a double (I bid 4NT), but I suppose that this is unlikely in the extreme.

ArtK78 Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Maybe I am on medication, but I bid 3NT. I expect to make 3NT. Assuming that I make 3NT (which is certainly a heavy favorite) I would have to beat 3Dx 3 tricks to get a better result, and 4 tricks to get a significantly better result. And I would hate to get a -470 result, which is not out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winstonm Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 All alone on my own little island....I would have simply bid 3N over 2N and stopped all this silliness. :) Winston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchiu Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Double, WTP? In recent experience, I have never encountered -470 or +100 in this situation. Meckstroth doesn't call this the "burn" vulnerability for nothing ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Looks like I'm in a small minority. I would bid 3N. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_U_Card Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Not enough trumps to beat a distributional diamond contract to compensate for the likely game bonus. Pard has an opener and now we have info to help us declare so lets do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalvan14 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 The only worry here might be partner void in diamonds (which is impossible, he would not have passed 3♦). I double, and would be surprised if we do not get 500 (much more likely, 800) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
