Walddk Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Pass. 4♥ is for juniors and other bridge players who enjoy taking a jump from 10 meters (32.808 feet) without knowing if there is water in the pool. I am not saying that 4♥ would never work out in real life, but it's anti-percentage to venture. Roland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeegan Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 :) Pass. Your hand is way too light in terms of high cards and playing strength to bid here, and the diamond queen is a BIG warning sign. Consider that a hand with more playing strength but the same high card strength would be an easy 4♥.♠ Kx♥ AQJxxx♦ x♣ Q10xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 This was posted in the hope more B&I’s would respond but its good to see even some of the BBO experts can get the bidding right :) There is a little twist, its not so much to do with Easts bid but the opening bid.A year ago I didn’t have had a clue what to do with Norths hand and would have opened 1D, 5D or passed and tried to get in on the bidding later.

Finch Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 ...or just ask your partner what double of 4H would have meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
