TimG Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Vul vs NV, IMPs, you hold: ♠ A532 ♥ 8762 ♦ AQ8 ♣ KJ. RHO opens 3♣ in second seat. Your turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Pauble. Or possible Doubass. I don't mind either pass or double, although if I had to pick exactly one I would pass. 3NT is horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'd pass. Give me AJxx xxxx AQxx Kx and I would double. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I agree it's borderline. I'm still chuckling at imagining Frances saying "Doubass". I'm also chuckling that Han wants a 4=4=4=2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jlall Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 In 4th or 2nd seat I'd X, but in 3rd I like pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I pass. My overbidding has limits B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimG Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hmm, six replies, five of which sound like they are voting for pass even if it is close while the 6th says it is borderline and doesn't say which way he leans. Yet, the poll vote is 3 to 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awm Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Easy pass with partner a passed hand, especially at IMP scoring where there is little difference between +100 and +140. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hmm Red/white, pard is a PH, IMPs, LHO is an UPH, 4 of our 14 HCP are ♣KJ gee I dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Pass. I don't think it's even a hard decision with such amazingly terrible suits and so much in clubs, although of course there will be times that doubling works better.

neilkaz Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 If PD opens at all aggressively, I feel it is best to pass this as you won't make enough games to compensate for the times you get drilled when PD has trash. .. neilkaz ..

SoTired Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 anything other than 4H is "resulting" Over 4H, partner could still bid 5C, which we would carry to 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeh Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 I'm not one of those who think this is an easy pass: picture partner with KJ10xx xx KJxx xx and we have missed a reasonable vulnerable game, and he sure isn't balancing. But picture him with Jxx Qxx Jxxx xxx and we have volunteered a big number. What sways me toward pass is: 1) the downside risk is significantly worse than the upside gain... 1100 against 620 2) when 620 is possible, partner may balance... the double commits us to a disaster when disaster lurks while the pass doesn't completely eliminate the chance of a good score when the hand belongs to us. But pass in tempo, else you negate the second factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
