jdonn Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 The votes for 3NT are mind boggling. If that is a good contract partner will be bidding more. How can he be expected to play us for this little. This is an easy pass, occasionally you have game, 10x more often you avoid going for a penalty when you don't.

neilkaz Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 This looks like one of the finest passes ever dealt to anyone and note that I compete rather aggressively vs preempts, but clearly pass this. Just my opinion .. neilkaz .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Pass is obvious at any form of scoring.If someone pointed a gun at me and forced me to make a bid, I'd put 3NT on the table, not else. I'd take the bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foo Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 To paraphrase Frances in an earlier thread: "Baah" Both as a member of the herd and as an individual sheep, I'm passing this no matter what form of scoring. ...and I agree with Ken, I'd take the bullet and be made mutton before bidding here.

mike777 Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I wondered about this one. Thank you all for your interesting comments and posts.This hand caused a bit of "heat" at the late night table.Partner thought double was clear in this seat at this scoring, I thought pass was. The companion hand, the one with very long diamonds, resulted in further discussion. Partner thought I could not pass over 3 clubs and then bid 5D. 4D was the winning bid btw.

Well, just shows that we who bid 5♦ expected a better hand than this for the double - and that we would pass with the actual doublers hand. Nice fit IMO.
