Finch Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 [hv=d=s&v=e&s=saj4h97daq42c9865]133|100|Scoring: IMP1NT x xx 2DP P x PP xx P 2HP P x 2S?[/hv] You are playing Forrester & Bahkshi Read the explanation of the auction carefully... 1NT = 10-13, may be off shapex = EITHER penalties OR 5-card minor + 4 card majorxx = strong after the redouble they explain they have only discussed continuations after an SOS or conventional redouble "no-one ever plays redouble as strong here". However, if the redoubler had passed, 2D would have shown 3-3 in the majors; with the redouble they aren't sure what it meant and it is possibly natural; however either way there is a strong inference that your RHO is short in clubs. Pass over 2D = forcing, usually a penalty doubleDouble of 2D = prepared to defend 2Dx if opener has a penalty double ("take-out")xx = SOSDouble of 2H = penalties Do you double 2S?

han Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 They are almost surely in a 4-3 fit. Partner knows this too, hopefully. I'd double, after all I have good spades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 I think my spades are much better than partner would expect, double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 LHO should have 5+ clubs and 4 spades. How do I know that his pd has less then 4 Spades? Okay maybe he simply plays system on, but this is just a guess, not a fact. If he really has 3/3 in the majors, why doesn´t he wait for the minor bid from his partner? So I guess he really has short clubs and all other suits. There is NO clue that his hearts are shorter then his spades. I don´t like to be in a doubling rhythm and I am not certain that 2 ♠ X is our best spot. They bid in red, so I am a chicken and pass.

Finch Posted September 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I chickened out and passed, which is +300 if you a heart (my choice) or the ace of diamonds - either 1 or 2 off on any other lead. I was worried that they might be in a 4-4 fit, with a 4315 opposite a 4441, or similar, but I think that was a bit wimpy of me. As dummy went down in 2S undoubled, he said "if this was doubled I was going to bid 2NT" 2NTx was going for 500, so you cost 200 points (not 500) by not doubling. Dummy had a 3325 with solid clubs, declarer was indeed 4441. Team-mates played in 2Hx after a 1NT overcall of a 1D opening, which was one off.
