the hog Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I am going to X. They won't make it if pd really has her double of 2D - from where are their tricks coming as we have 3 suits sewn up. Lead A and another S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P_Marlowe Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Reformatting the auction (1♠) - Dbl - (2♦) - Dbl (4♠) - ??? 5C, what else? You decided to treat this hand as a strong 1-suiter with clubs, because you hoped to hear hearts.Partner did not have hearts, but the opponents,now I show my suit.

Codo Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 If I had to guess, I guess this is a problem about different explanations:2 Diamond was alerted as transfer and meant as Diamonds. When South- with a double fit in Hearts and Clubs- did receive 300 in 4 Spade X and not 620 or more in a suit contract, E/W said this was his fault, bidding on was mandatory the double silly. Anyway I agree with Marlowe, this is a wtp hand.But I disagree with his bid. X is it. Pd did show diamonds, we have clubs and Hearts, why do we want to bid on the 5. level?

Having read the arguments for double,I tend to agree, ... but 5C was my firstimpuls, and at the table I usually follow my first impuls.

helene_t Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I was hoping someone else would ask.... what is Monkeys ?!! :) A keyboard monkey (or mouse monkey) is the legendary monkey who with a probability of 10^(-50000) reproduces the collected works of Shakespeare. On BBF, the monkey is responsible for the fact that no poll ever receives an unanimous verdict. It is custom to include a "monkey" option in polls, just in case someone wants to vote for something which you did not anticipate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jchiu Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I was hoping someone else would ask.... what is Monkeys ?!! ;) It's a non-statistical sampling method* designed to test how many forums readers are voting randomly. Whenever this number is sufficiently high, it is a general indication that the poll results should be rejected and further testing should be performed. * Ask an auditor about sampling to actually understand this joke.
