Echognome Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 [hv=d=s&v=n&s=saxxhxdaqtxxcjxxx]133|100|Scoring: MPP - (P) - 1♥ - (P)2♦ - (P) - P - (2♥)P - (2♠) - Dbl - (3♣)?[/hv] Yeah. Yeah. I know you would have opened this hand. But I didn't hold this hand, so I'm giving this problem as it happened. What do you make of partner's suddenly coming to life with a double? What do you do now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Strange auction. It sounds like pard has a 4=4=3=2 and a 12-13 count. Our LHO might have misinterpreted 2♥ as some kind of takeout as well. I think they are in hot water and I'll express my opinion with a x.

cherdano Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Double and lead a trump. What was the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Agree with double. Partner should have a close to opening values for a double of 2S. And if they make it, fortunately 3CX isn't game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

han Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Seriously, I read somewhere that 3X= is slam (2*3 = 6) but I'm not allowed to mention the source here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against a drunk, you can write anything you want above the line :) Good thing the contract isn't 3.5 clubs - then I guess we'd be giving up the grand bonus as well.

ArtK78 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I double. And I am not worried about the slam bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echognome Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Ok. Bad problem. We all double. I held the opposite hand and had it come back with a pass to me. I bid 3♦ with KT9x AKJxx xxx x and it made on the nose. +110 was average plus with someone making 3NT our way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
