Gerben42 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Only fair to double them in a making contract too then. Double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codo Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Great convention. Raptor. Indeed! But what had raptor to do with the question whether to double 6 Heart or not? But I would like to see the full hand too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 ööö let me try[hv=d=w&v=e&n=skqxxhdjxxckjxxxx&w=sahkjtxxxxdaktxxc&e=sxxxhxxxxxdqxxxcx&s=sjxxxxhaqdxcaqxxx]399|300|Scoring: MP1♥-1NT*-4♥-4♠6♥-p-p-Xend[/hv]but this wasnt exactly it, here we have 11 tricks in spades, I think we had 10. whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Sounds too unlikely on the auction that p has clubs. Dbl is pretty obvious I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Sounds too unlikely on the auction that p has clubs. Dbl is pretty obvious I think. It seems blatantly obvious partner has clubs on the auction. Where in the world else is west getting his bid without a great diamond suit on the side? I'm not saying that makes double wrong though, obviously it was a strong consensus before the hand came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that makes double wrong though, obviously it was a strong consensus before the hand came out. P has promised a minor suit, I have a minor suit, and both opps bid as if they have some distributions. Let's say for simplicity that everybody has one of the minors and that two players must have clubs and two must have diamonds. Without more info than that, the chance that p and I have the same minor is 1/3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Without more info than that, the chance that p and I have the same minor is 1/3. Of course but you have a lot more info. West bid 6♥! What is his hand (which is obviously 2 suited) that does this off the AQ of both of his suits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 That is exactly the information I did take into account. I assumed everybody had one long minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cherdano Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 That is exactly the information I did take into account. I assumed everybody had one long minor. I think you still missed Josh's point. What you didn't take into account that LHO has a GOOD minor suit. This is only possible if he has diamonds and partner has clubs. Also I don't think you should assume RHO has a long minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Oh right, point taken. My bad. But it's still possible that LHO has good diamonds and p has bad diamonds' isn't it? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
