dake50 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 What is partner's pass? If the typical undefined, 3S and hope good fit saves too high. I play Pass shows an expected 5-8 without clear action (X warns). So 3S more certain. Further I partition 1C/1D so this hand is in 1D and partnership expects S-barrage, so 3S stands out and partner 'could/would' have put his 2-cents in with pass.

Gerben42 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I play leaping michaels in many many sequences, this is one of them. So 4♣. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I double, even if I played leaping michaels I would double since we may belong in diamonds or 2S X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Double. Not happy with it but not happy with anything else either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 3S for me. Just out of feeling.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Even playing Leaping Michaels, it's wrong on this hand. This is a 3-suiter, and the way to show it is by a t/o double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yes, leaping michaels is on, and I might use it since I'm not sure what to do after p takes my double out to 3♦ (via lebensohl if applicable). Maybe I dbl followed by 3♥ is a reasonable description of this hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianshark Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm not sure how happy I'll be if pard leaves my t/o double in. I think I'll bid 3♠. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtfanclub Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'm not sure how happy I'll be if pard leaves my t/o double in. I think I'll bid 3♠. I play pass here as trap or crap. Twice now, I have X'd in cases like this and partner has passed with a hand like... J8xxxxxxxxxxx so that's what I imagine these days when I think about X vs. 3♠. In this case...hmm, looks like opps will get one diamond, one club, and four trumps. 300 for us. Game looks impossible. Even if you mix cards around, you still don't have entries to dummy, so you're leading the minor suits from your hand. So I double. I fully expect partner to have 5 spades (at this vulnerability, the 2 level isn't much of a barage) so I won't be shocked when partner leaves it in. If they make, well, I'll offer them my congratulations. But I would be very surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 While I don't play a strong club anymore, I like the idea of LM here. I hadn't heard of it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
