skjaeran Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I expect them to make 4♠, but it might be close.5♦ will normally cost me -500, which means I only gain 3 (or 4) IMPs vs 620 (or 650). Some will probably concede -790 or -990 too. But some part of the time they will go down where we're -300/-500 in 5♦. Basically I think I'll go slightly plus in the long run passing here.

pclayton Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I think I'd pass. There's no reason to think we have pushed them into a game that is making. If I'm bidding, it's 4N. For 5♦ to be right, we need to find two slow winners in pard's hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matmat Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 how come 4NT is not an option? down 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 DBL. 3NT showed a gambling-style hand with spade stop. Now dbl should show some extras, which is what I have. Don't like to pass a difficult decision to a weak hand, but I'm not willing to sell out or take unilateral action here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jlall Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I love 4N, sometimes if they are good they dont even X because they don't have diamonds stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benlessard Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Clear pass for me. Partner already know 95% of my hand. The only extra i have is the Q of H. Bidding 3Nt with axxAKQJTxx (even 8th or 9th)xxx is in a way useless because you will rarely buy the hand. Solid D + S stop + some outside strenght is my definition for a 3nt bid. So therefore i have an easy pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 3NT, 4♠ and 5♦ were all 1 down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
