awm Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 [hv=d=s&v=n&s=saq97h64dak985ct2]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] You open 1♦ and LHO overcalls 2♣. This is passed back to you. What's your plan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Pass. By far not good enough to bid 2S - see another analogous post. If you X and partner bids 2H what are you goung to do? Now 2S overstates the strength of the hand and if pd gives preference to 3D you are in deep poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbleighton Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Pass. Pd's failure to make a negative double is instructive. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Pass, wtp.If partner's got a penalty pass (unlikely), we won't be defending 2♣ anyway - RHO will remove to 2♥. If partner has a penalty double and opening strenght, he'll not gamble on me being able to reopen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P_Marlowe Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Can 2♦ be wrong? not always, but 2D has only one way towin, i.e. diamonds is best for your side,but you may have a penalty for your side,a 5-2 fit in hearts and a 4-4 fit in spades,... and partner can still bid 2D in case heholds 3 cards.

Edmunte1 Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Double, then pass, even if we will be in a 4-2 ♥ fit. That's life, we don't get perfect hands all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whereagles Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 hum... dbl and convert 2♥ to 2♠. Shouldn't this show more like 16+ ? By the book, maybe yes. In practice I find that too unflexible. Dbl + 2♠ should show just about this hand, while a direct 2♠ would be more like those 16+. If you can't live with dbl + 2♠ I suppose you have to pass or bid 2♦ :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I posted an almost identical hand about a month ago. I thought doubling and converting 2♥ to 2♠ could show this hand type, but that's an unusual interpretation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
