gwnn Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Happy 4S, expecting to make. Will X 5H. this is because you prefer sound 2 suited overcalls or would you be this happy with your random American expert also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will X 5H. this is because you prefer sound 2 suited overcalls or would you be this happy with your random American expert also? I don't know tbh. Looks like pard has a heart void, and we have the king of his minor, the king of the other minor (where he surely has at least 2), and 3 trumps. On the downside he may be facing a tap, but I like my hand for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 1♥-2♥-4♥-?? 8♥ Happy pi day! I will go with 4♠. btw isn't 7♥ an equally valid answer, with the added bonus that it exists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 1♥-2♥-4♥-?? 8♥ Happy pi day! I will go with 4♠. btw isn't 7♥ an equally valid answer, with the added bonus that it exists? Any other number of hearts is valid too and some of those exist. I bid 4♠ I am not going to not tell partner about my spade support - Pass is too wimpy and double too unilateral. I'll double 5♥ if partner doesn't bid 5♠ or more first. If he does then I have a good hand for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Double and expect +500. I think partner would need a bit luck to bring in 4S on a forcing defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other number of hearts is valid too and some of those exist. Valid in bridge terms, but not mathematically. If you don't get the joke you shouldn't answer :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerben42 Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 1 - 2 - 4 - 7 (-11 - 16 - 22 - ...) is a valid series too, you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_c Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Valid in bridge terms, but not mathematically. Meh. Since when has "p_n - 1" not been a valid sequence? The answer is obviously 6♥. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted March 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 This hand is from the last round of the White House Junior International against Iceland, I bid 4♠ wich was not a success. [hv=n=sak9xxhxdj108xxxc10&w=sqxha9xxxdaxcqjxx&e=s10xxhkjxdq9xcaxxx&s=sjxxhq10xxdkxckxxx]399|300|[/hv] Double +7 IMPsPass +0 IMPs4♠ -7 IMPs I am happy to see I am not alone in my decision, getting this one right wouldn't had been enough to qualify, but almost.

han Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Of course all numbers of hearts are equally valid, but 8♥ is most equally valid by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
