Andy I would have bid 1nt weakish takeout last round. Hard to win at MP going minus 110. More top players are playing 1nt as strong and natural in this position as responses get lighter and lighter.

hatchett Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Pass on both rounds, this really is a heap of a rubbish even given the tempting form of scoring and vulnerability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbleighton Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 Double. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 This hand is absolute drek. My pard during the 2nd final of the Denver BAM balanced on a nearly identical hand. I got to play 3H and went for 500. The ODR on this hand is wretched. The opps probably have 8 trump, which makes it very easy to double us at the 3 level. Unless I am playing against a pair too timid to double, or will always take the push, I pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 NOW it's too late, I had a chance to show my hand after 1♦ - p - 1♠... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytoox Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 pass. this is a very bad hand for balancing. If they bid 2H and I hold spade suit, i might consider balancing. But with heart suit I will never balance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 Definitely pass. Even if I balance and they take the push, which is the best case scenario, they are extremely likely to make when my hand is such crap. So the upside is barely even existant, but the downside is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always hated this convention, but if it starts being used on hands like this I will like it very much. When my opponents are playing it, that is. Just because you can show a certain shape is no excuse to be bidding at all on hands with no offense of any kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
