jdonn Posted December 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I posted this because I thought it was a very close choice regarding both strain and level at the same time. Unfortunately I still feel none the wiser about what is really right. My suspicion is it depends who partner is, and maybe something minimal is right with some and 4♦ is right with others. Partner was nuts on the actual hand so it's not really relevant, but I still thought in theory it's an interesting problem. He had AKJTxx KTx Qx Jx I think. I guess that's a reason to sign off, partner might not have his bid :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Sorry, I forgot to mention that this is not the first time partner has played bridge. Now you have full information. You're almost as good at disclosing stuff as OPEC is at saying how much oil they got left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 I agree with the majority. I like a 4D bid here. Hopefully partner can infer that I have 4H for this bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Hi, I guess, I would pass. The double is certainly not 100% t/o, partner will be aware, that the double will get passed out very often, and I have some defence. With kind regardsMarlowe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benlessard Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 3S. Partner is surely bidding some of my values. Partner most probable shape is 6313 and it doesnt look too attractive to me. Partner red against white isnt balancing too light but still hes playing me for some values and i dont feel ive got that much extras. (where are my H spots ?). However the fact that LHO respond 1Nt tend to say to me that the M will break but not clubs. (the 3D bids is probably done on C shortness). So partner AJx of clubs will be a great holding. But stiff club to the A and club ruff will sunk our contract quite often. Also if partner doesnt have the J♣ our Q♣ is useless. AKQxxxKJxxKJx , club lead followed by club ruff. AKJTxxKxxxAxx lose 1H,1D,1 or 2C + may be a S. AKxxxxKJxxAJx 1S + 1D maybe 1H. Its probably a close call between 3S and 4D-4S after all. (PS For me 4D would suggest 4H and 2S) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
