SchTsch Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Well, they say it's a bidders game.I would never pass this hand, but as the only reasonable alternative is 5♣, pass is a pretty good pesimistic bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianshark Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Oh, we're vul and they are NV? Then definitely 5♣. I initially read the other way about when passing might be worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. Maybe somebody turned the board sideways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 3NT insufficient corrected to 4NT NF is obviously right. That's what I was thinking... 3NT, wtp? Then I realized it was 4♥, not 3♥. Guess it was good I bid first and think later, right? Now I either get to play 3N, 4N or double off 4♥ for penalty if they accept 3N and re-overcall 4♥.

I think you're not allowed to change an insufficient bid to a X (at least in the ACBL). Correct me if I'm wrong somebody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 I meant that if they accepted my 3N and the 4♥ bidder bid 4♥ again, then I could double for penalty. It does seem you can't correct an insufficient bid to X or XX - only pass or a bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
