keylime Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 This is a thought provoking hand for me at first, but I am with the crowd. Pass is so not forcing. I do tho think someone better be smacking this around, probably the NT bidder since they are marked with some club length in this auction.

mikestar Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 This is a no-brainer for me. Opener has declined a game invitation--we were stopping in a partial, we can be fairly certain that anything we might bid at the 5 level goes down. We certainly can't be in the position where our 5 level bid is odds on to be a make or a good save. Since there is no possibility of bidding on, it can't be a forcing pass. The only correct meaning for opener's pass is "I have poor defense and 5♣ may make." In light of that info, responder's pass means "I think they may make it, too." If opener thinks it odds on that 5♣ is going down, then double it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
