gwnn Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 The fun bid, 5♦. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 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?

Guest Jlall Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 pass, bidding is just undisciplined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 I think I would bid 5D, in fact I know I would. We all have our limitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Clearcut pass. Why anyone would overcall now is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
