Cascade Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 [hv=d=n&v=b&s=sqjt96hk65dq8cakq]133|100|Scoring: MPPass (1♥) 1♠ (2♥)Dbl (3♥) ?[/hv] We have a meta-agreement that a double at the three-level on this sort of auction (anything except (3x) opening and when we have not already limited our hand) is primarily aimed at finding a stopper for 3NT. Feel free to suggest your own methods/styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Playing standard methods I would make a card showing double. I would expect to beat 3♥ 2 tricks and maybe 3. Playing your methods, I'd bid 3N. The chances of it making depend on whether or not pard has a max pass / double and the location of pard's honors and minor suit length. I'd say pard's most likely shape is 2155. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helene_t Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 3N. Your methods sound good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Without being able to double in your methods you are just screwed, no other bid is satisfactory. Unhappy pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
han Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I'm also not happy about the methods, at least on this hand I'm not happy. We know partner does not have 3 spades so 3NT needs a lot. I'd also pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
