pbleighton Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Pass. I might double at matchpoints, i've got a lot of stuff and 6C has a wing and a prayer flavor to it, but not here. 6S? No way. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 6Dbidding on a wing and a prayer. :( Very close second choice double. I am not passing. Yes, 6clubs may be cold but not a complete joke I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 It wouldn't occur to me to save, so I suspect it was right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Just pass. I'd bid 4♠ over 4♣. I wouldn't bid 5♠ over 5♣, but its close. No way am I taking this to the 6 level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 I would definitely not save, though it's worth noting I have an absolutely terrible track record in these situations. I figure saving must have been right, or else a hand with so much defense wouldn't have been posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 It wouldn't occur to me to save, so I suspect it was right... My thoughts also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Pass. RHO made the last guess and I'm happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Hi, Pass, although X wont cost, I doubt theywill reach 6C at the other table, i.e. ifit makes double wont cost a lot, if it goesdown I will get more money. I did save last time, ... we agreed at this time,that it was not one of my better ideas. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Really difficult. I think I would double. Personal preference for seeming overoptimistic versus being pushed around from the start by the favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Double? On the start of a match vs stronger opps?? That's a good way to moralize them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoob Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 double and watch carefully for the deep finesse attempt at trick 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 This is a tough one - need to know my opponents here.If I know them to be a very strong no-nonsense pair, I'd take the save at 6♠. Else not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickyB Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Nope, pard bid 6♠ and it was a phantom. I can see why he did it given the form of scoring (if slam makes 50% of the time you probably want to be saving for 500/800) but I don't think oppo were reliable enough for him to assume that would be the case when they have only half the deck.
