matmat Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 i blame the dog to be honest, the only thing missing really is a final double. maybe north can venture a 4d call instead of 4h to make things clearer for p. bringing back a 500 compared to a 680 is not that bad. (especially since on this layout it really should only be 650, and if you rearrange things slightly even 5♥ won't make). others will probably disagree, but bidding to 5h on the NS hands is, imo, a long term losing action.

Mr. Dodgy Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 The final pass is weak, opener can be expected to have 2+ tricks and South might get 3 or more, can't pass. otoh, I would have been very tempted to open 4♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codo Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It is hard to find a good bid for south after 4 spade is passed around to him: This hand screams: Double fit: They have spades and diamonds. In this case, my defensive values are lower then it seems and we may even have a double swing.So I think I have to bid again just as an insurance against a double swing. As my pd has 7+ hearts, I would bid 5 Heart and nail 5 Spade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 5♥? What double fit? Did pard support our clubs along the way? Just hammer 4♠. Pard can still pull (he won't). The rest of the auction looks fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pclayton Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Who is making 680? Csaba is on a non-spade lead. ♣, ♣ pitching the spade, ♦, ♦, ruff ♠ to hand, ♦... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdeegan Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Yes, south missed his obvious double. ;) The alpha and omega of this deal. Looking at just the two north-south hands, and trusting the opponents bidding, I don't particularly want to be in 5♥, much less 6♥. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skjaeran Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 How come south passed out 4♠ - surely that's impossible on this auction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 passing out is plain wrong... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 It looks like a forcing pass to me, but even if it was agreed as NF (if 3♣ was a NFB) double is obvious. So 100% to South. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asc Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 anyway that's impossible bidding S have to say something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
