rogerclee Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hmmm...pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'd pass. The only suit they've actually shown is spades, so double would suggest more diamonds than I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwnn Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 with my pd we take 1♦ as natural (cause it's simpler and it seems to be the case that most of these 1♦ bids usually do have diamonds) but this is too slim to x on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pclayton Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'd pass. Let's see what happens this round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Wouldn't "go quietly" imply the auction ends if we don't enter it? This thread should be called "enter now?" which I would do if we are treating the diamond bid as natural, but be forced to pass if we were playing double as takeout of spades of course.

helene_t Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Pass, this a situation in which one have to bid constructively since the deck could easily belong to us, something that is more likely than it would have been if they were playing standard.

andy_h Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 pass for this round and see what develops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo81 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'd pass even if the diamond was natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I only pass because of the vulnerability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I double happily and do not agree with the definition of X as takeout of spades, I would still play it as t/o of D+S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NS at the other table was in 4♥.Kit Woolsey was commentating. He did not like North's pass, and recommended a double instead. http://tinyurl.com/2w4tcc[/hv] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
