Vilgan Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 First 6/6 I've picked up in a while, with a fun auction and result. More of an issue as to what to bid with LHO cards, as he had to make the guess blind on the 5 level. I opened 1♦ in first seat with: -void- Q AT8xxx AQTxxxAuction then proceeded to go: 1♦ 1NT P 2♥(xfer) 5♣ ?? His hand was:KQJxAKxQxxJxx What would you do with this hand everybody white? You have at least a 9 card fit (actually a 10 card fit).. but no roughing value. You also have no idea how strong partner is. He chose to bid 5♠, at which time which I doubled and it got passed out. partner tabled her singleton club, I won my queen, A, returned a small one for a rough, got my A of diamonds (RHO had the stiff J).. exited Q hearts, and she eventually got her jack of hearts at the end. It seems rather rare that the hand with 24 HCP and a 10 card spade fit can't come close to making anything, whereas the 16 HCP 9 card fit easily makes 5♦. He was annoyed at himself for bidding 5 spades... but imo.. even flat it still takes some serious restraint to let the opps play 5♦ undoubled. Okay not any serious cool "omg how do you play this crazy squeeze" hand, but was kind of a fun shape vs HCP + spades hand. Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if passing was not 100 % unanimous. Anything other than pass is completely insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be surprised if passing was not 100 % unanimous. Anything other than pass is completely insane. Well, I would pass, but clearly pass can not be 100% because at Vilgan's table, his LHO did not pass. So lets say it is 99.99999% unanimous... As a btw, can something be unanimous that is not 100%? I mean, can you be 80% pregnant. Seems it is either unanimous or not (or pregnant or not), but that is really an aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeh Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Well, we know that professional athletes, and others, can certainly give 110%. So maybe it is possible to be 110% unanimous, in which case, being only 100% unanimous means that about 9.0909091% (approximately) of bidders would disagree? Inflation has struck almost all aspects of life... prices, bbo skill levels, degrees of effort... so why no consensus as well? I'm virtually 110% sure that this is the case.... Of course, I expect everyone to agree with me... it should be...... unanimous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Not really.. with doping you can do perhaps up to 105% :) 110% is quite difficult without a blatant overload of steroids :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
