rogerclee Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 It's not often that I'm this happy to make a negative double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effervesce Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Without negative free bids, X. Wtp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 X but I'm not really happy. Usually with a 6 card suit I'll just stretch and bid it but this one is too weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skjaeran Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Playing in an Indie (or with a pick-up) I'd double with this hand. With my regular I'd have a 2♦ transfer available here, wtp? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foo Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Like Justin, I make a Neg X intending to show a weak hand with 6+H on the next round. Like Justin, I am not happy about it. The suit stinks and the hand has a ODR heavily weighted toward defense. But pass seems too deep a position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cascade Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I double too. I am not happy doubling with this hand with a partner that I have discussed doubling on this sort of hand or have some partnership history to know that we will understand the subsequent auction. I am not happy because there is too much chance of a pre-emption from the opponents when our fit is 6=3 or 6=2 that might cause us to lose the major. I am less happy with a random partner in an INDY.
