catatonic Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 playing sayc on BBO with a pickup pt , I held J8642J10985375 pt was dealer and opened at game all 1♣ ,x, p , 2♥p ,3[♦ ,p 3♥p ,4 ♥ , ? I passed in tempo , taking the view that ...... there is only one thing that I could hold for a double here , this is almost certainly going off and 5♦ is probably a make partner then re-opened and castigated me for not doubling! who is correct ? in fact he held KQ109........KJ8QJ10963 leaving aside that I personally would have made a neg x of 2♥, I could have some sympathy for 4♠[ can only be a 4 card suit now ] or x , but he decided on the 0% line of 5♣ which got its just reward [ well not really , he got out for 800 on a misdefence]at this point I was unappreciative about remarks like why didn't I learn to play bridge ; but having mostly played with genuine experts over the years , who think as I do , is my thinking wrong here?do I have a style which is out of line ? wot you all think?

whereagles Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Your pard is just trying to find a scapegoat for his idiotic 5♣ bid and you happened to be the only one around :rolleyes: You bid fine. You can either:1. ignore him2. report an abuse to BBO administration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartA Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I agree with your pass. pd's passes up to 4H is OK with me. Although dbl over 2H is reasonable but prefer pass. After all, pd's hand is lack of aces, and opps may have spade fit (up to 3D). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
