Can you spot it? What lesson can we learn from this hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenze Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 This is IMPS? The opponents were in 7 Diamonds, which I know is going down. But I doubled so they could run to a lucky 7 spades!!!! NOT A SMART MOVE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 If you double 7♦, you should double 7♠ as well imo (to mislead declarer). But there's no reason why you should double 7♦ in imps... In MP's it might be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badderzboy Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 Fun hand to play I guess and DBL tells East how to play it? and also keeping quiet takes down contract as previously said... Opener has shown 7 ♥ with 3♥ opener and weak hand and then dbld♦ so we can place QJT in North? Given good honours in hearts for opening not likely to have anything else so finesse S for J♠ to guard against 4-0 break I won't have done it at the table as I can't think that quickly but is it reasonable logic?

bearmum Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 the DOUBLE of 7♦ was THE worst bid - NEVER X a freely bid GS ----EVEN if u KNOW u have a guaranteed TRUMP trick) - because you MIGHT force them into the ONLY GS thay can make - BUT IF they have overbid - you have a GOOD score regardless if u X or not :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke warm Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 not sure if this qualifies as an absolute or not, but one lesson is that the preemptor has said all he plans to say and doesn't bid again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
