nbailey Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Just wondering what people would do... RHO opens 1♦ Precision, you hold Axx/x/A98xx/AQJT. Opponents Vul, MP scoring Do you bid? If so what? If you pass it goes 1♥ on your left then RHO bids 1NT (11-13 Bal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Pass then double, but not everybody thinks the delayed double shows this hand. Something to discuss with p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vang Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 pass then double seems obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Pass then double. However, I will admit that I would overcall 2♣ some days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 This is the day. I'd overcall 2♣ because precision 1♦ is very vulnerable to a 2♣ overcall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_em_up Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Double of 1D would show what? While others may play it as takeout, I find it better served to play it as showing diamonds when playing vs. precision. So....immediate X for me, bidding 2C if I get the chance, now both my suits are known. jmoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrexford Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Oh yeah -- Precision 1♦. Now, I might bid 2♦ is this is allowed by our system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Pass then Double. ♦ not good enough to bid them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Pass then double. There is no other options but pass and pass that is at all sane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrothgar Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 As other's have noted, its often very useful to disrupt nebulous 1♦ openings.I'd give strong consideration to an immediate 1NT overcall. I'm not positive if I'd bid 1N at the table (pass has its own logic). But I wouldn't rule 1N out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtfanclub Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Who dealt? If partner is a passed hand, I'll bid 2NT. Game seems unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlson Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Hm. I definitely have different agreements on double with different partners (takeout of hearts with one, and penalty with diamonds with another). I'm really not sure which agreement the people that recommend double have, but of course the funny thing is that I think I'd double with either partner.

Guest Jlall Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I'd probably pass then pass at this vul. I think what to do over the 1N bid is an excellent problem and am not really convinced that pass is better than X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gifster Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'm no expert but what if there is no "then"??- both you and partner have the expected garbagy misfit- and the opps don't want to make things worse either... that's what happens when I pass with this kind of hand B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
