bid_better Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 [hv=d=s&v=b&s=saq87ha5dk8ckqjt6]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] You are sitting south and play 2/1, so you open 1 Club and prepare to reibd your Spade reversely. Your LHO over calls 1H and "pass", "pass" from your partner and your RHO. Now comes to you. What is your proper rebid? 1 spade? 2 spade or double?

temp3600 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Double! I like to double in this situation whenever i can. Spades can wait, and pretty much anything else for that matter, except double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 i'd double also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_better Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Suppose you bid double now the auction goes: South West North East 1♣ 1♥ pass pass double pass 2♦ pass ? Your partner bids 2♦ over your double, what would you do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awm Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Well, this is why I bid 1♠ the first time. Anyways, a 2♠ call here over 2♦ should describe the hand (it can't be 5-6 in the blacks; would never consider the initial double with such a hand).

Since 2♠ (after the double) describes your hand well in your opinion, why (misguidedly) open 1♠ in the first place? --Sigi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You (the problem solver) opened 1♣ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I am sure Adam was suggesting to balance 1♠ over 1♥, not opening 1♠. That is what I would do, too, we can still double later to show extra strength after having shown our suits. ARend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 1S, the bid can be made on a weaker hand, so what, but who cares?If partner does not speak, we wont miss anything, and showing where I live makes it easier for him to find a bid. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothbrush Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 1♣-(1♥)-pass-(pass)?? I double, trying to find out if partner has something I can use. The possibility also exits that partner has a lot of ♥ and with this hand I'd like to defend :P I believe bidding 1♠ shows a weaker and more distributional hand with which you don't want to defend. dbl-(pass)-2♦-(pass)?? Partner has a very weak hand with no 4♠ or 4♣, but with 5+♦ and 4+♥ (because opps don't bid higher in ♥).Seems like a misfit to me, so I pass!

Free Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Dbl first, pass when partner bids 2♦. I think he has 5+♦ and a weak hand (otherwise he'd bid initially, or bid 1♠ or 2♣ on a 3 card now) so I don't see any way to make 9 tricks in NT.

hatchett Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I would re-open with a double and then bid 2♠ over 2♦ which should show around this in high cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I rebid 1S, which is forcing in my partnerships. No need to bid 2S. This smells like a hand where no one can make 3 of anything. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
