(Teams)

E, known to be an aggressive pre-empter *sometimes*, opens 5

X would be for takeout (or transferrable values in that partner can pass) sort of thing

 

What would you bid?

Pass.

 

I have a reasonable expectation of going plus against 5. I have no idea whether 5 will make, and many times when it does, partner will bid 6 (he will be expecting more for my 5 bid).

 

The harder question is what do you do when it goes P-(P)-x?

Pass now. If pard dbls, I'll bid 6.

Interesting choice. I would be trying to decide between passing and bidding 5. Passing over 5 and then bidding 6 when pard doubles in passout seat seems inconsistent to me, even though it might be the winning call.

Why? Sounds reasonable to me. Certainly pass this hand now, in fact that decision is not close.

Maybe you misunderstood what I said. I said that I would pass over 5. When partner doubles in passout seat, I would decide between passing it out and bidding 5.

 

Passing over 5 and then jumping to 6 when partner doubles in passout seat seems inconsistent to me. It is just another way of hanging partner.
