mr1303 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 [hv=d=s&v=b&s=s109xxhxxxdjxcjxxx]133|100|Scoring: IMP[/hv] Last board of a 10 board match, and you are 12 imps down. Game all up the last, as it were. LHO opens 1S in second, and partner bids 3NT. RHO doubles (and self-alerts as exposing the psyche) What do you go. Limited agreements (you expect 3NT to be based on a long minor, but you tried a dodgy psyche 2 boards previously) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
655321 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Dealer: South Vul: Both Scoring: IMP ♠ 109xx ♥ xxx ♦ Jx ♣ Jxxx Last board of a 10 board match, and you are 12 imps down.

At least we will have learnt from the experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well, I'm gonna pull to 4♣ and hope teammates can do better on this board than we did. To gamble a pass here is a good way to go -1700... lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerclee Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well, I'm not going to win 12 IMPs by going down in something doubled. So I send it back. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike777 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 will xx.....whatever it means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hog Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I can't believe anyone would bid or xx here. Partner has the best idea of what is going on. Pass and hope she has already created sufficient havoc on the board. Bidding is materminding to say the least. xx should be to play at this score.

Fluffy Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I also agree with Ron. We are just an extra in this movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Redouble unless partner understands this as doubt-showing. I play confidence-showing redoubles. Not that I'm particularly confident but +750 may not be +13 imps whereas +1000 or +1400 may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I can't believe anyone would bid or xx here. Partner has the best idea of what is going on. Pass and hope she has already created sufficient havoc on the board. Bidding is materminding to say the least. xx should be to play at this score. Completely agree. We don't have a clue what's going on here. Pard's 3N may have earned the swing already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 This psyche exposure thing was a silly joke. At the previous board, Don uncovered a psyche of mine and said " because I dont trust Helene". :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr1303 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Anyway, I tried 4C (because I wasn't confident of partner making 3NT no matter what his hand was, and didn't want partner to have to decide what redouble meant). Unfortunately this was the wrong decision. Partner had exactly 9 top tricks in NT, and made exactly 9 (he played in 4NT). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtK78 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Agree with all of the passers. I have nothing to say. Sorry I got to this party late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
