jdonn Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Since it sort of leaked, I doubled, and I was certainly happy about it when partner passed. Until his hand turned out to be Jx xx AQJxx KQxx and they were cold... I don't like to base arguments on results, and I won't do that here as well... but I can't stop myself from comment that "cold" game, in which you had to face with 3 losers after trick one, which can become 4 if you handle the Diams. the wrong way (and it is far from clear which one is the right way lol). :) There are only 2 quick losers (in hearts). Cold was an overbid but if you can get the diamonds right you will always make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miguelm Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Okay, just two different definitions of cold :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 If double is unitaterally penalties then that would be much better. Disagree even if X is 100% penalty i still think 5C is reasonnable. X maybe be better but not by much. The X is likely to bring only 100 pts. Im not really afraid of X and they make it, im more afraid that we make 6C and get only 200/500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is much more likely that neither side can make anything than that either side can make a game or slam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh, this is an interesting new variant of the reading and replying problem :)You say "Opponents are cold for game", someone replies "No, we are not cold for game", then you say "yes I was right, we are pretty much cold for game, i.e. on a guess".[Or is it me who has reading comprehension troubles??] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherdano Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 .... Well the main point was that Donn said that THEIR game is colded, then defended this claim by saying how OUR game is "cold". I really think it's a new high when a posted doesn't know what he is replying to when he is quoting himself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
