han Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Pass, leave it to partner who knows much more about your hand than you about his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Boy, tough to argue with Han on this one. The opps were certainly nice to let you describe your hand completely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereagles Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well, I'm not going to make unilateral decisions on that raggy club suit either. Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jlall Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I would X, I have too much defense to let it go all pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I would X, I have too much defense to let it go all pass. I agree with this. It's not a forcing pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtfanclub Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I would X, I have too much defense to let it go all pass. I agree with this. It's not a forcing pass. While I certainly agree that it's not a forcing pass, I don't think I have more defense than partner has a right to expect for a first hand opener. Partner would have to have a pretty awful hand to pass 5♦, IMO. And if it's that awful, we lost 50 points by not Xing. Woo. My problem is that I really don't need much to make 5♠, and the way I play the X is a unilateral decision...a "For God's sake, don't bid 5♠" bid. If the X were a "do something smart, P" X, then I'd agree with it. Maybe you guys play it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The opponents said that is a good result for them because we could make 5s which was true however I do not see how we could get there.

Finch Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 On any lead you should have had 1 spade, 3 hearts and 2 clubs for +800 against 5Dx. Edit: Ha! Two people beat me to it all in the same minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
