CSGibson Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Pass. I'd hate to have them run to a making 4 spade game when I can almost always be assured of setting 3NT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I assume this is a lead problem? B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ochinko Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Pass. I don't even need to see the hand. 1NT is the most limited bid, and I consider my hand described. Even if I had decided to open 1NT with a six badger, I am not going to introduce it at the fourth level. Since I am not on the lead Double is out of the question as well. Oops, I am on the lead. Well, this is IMP, I still pass. Turn ♦9 into 10, and I'll double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Double, ♦K Cross in the top right corner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 pass ♦ King Doubling wins if they have no game AND pd is not able to double,Passing wins if they have game in spade or 3 NT or if 4 in their suit is cheaper then 3 NT undoubled. And I doubt that they will be down several tricks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Pass, I don't see an alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Playing against sane opponents pass is normal. If you double, I think you are doubling for one off and that needs the D10 to be short, or in partner's hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 pass, lead ♦K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 The odds against setting this twice must be overwhelming, so I really can't see any reason to double. Just lead the ♦K and see if they can cash nine winners (or even get to nine having two ♦ stoppers) or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchiu Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 You haven't yet answered whether you believe the opponents are sane. But against sane opponents, pass seems percentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 You haven't yet answered whether you believe the opponents are sane. But against sane opponents, pass seems percentage. Nobody asked. Frances only said that pass was normal against sane opponents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 You haven't yet answered whether you believe the opponents are sane. But against sane opponents, pass seems percentage. If the opponents are sane of course you pass. If they are you - I mean insane :) then you may lose a big number but who cares, +400 will still be a decent swing since certainly our side doesn't have game, so I'll just be happy with what was given to me. "Pass seems percentage" is quite the underbid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
